He use 234 to make ice cream cone and it weighs 10 lb

Answer 2

Explanation:

reg. cones get 2 scoops, lg cones get 3 scoops

he scooped 234 regular cones.....234* 2 = 468 scoops

he scooped 156 lg cones.....156 * 3 = 468 scoops

thats a total of 468 + 468 = 936 scoops

each scoop weighs 3 oz.....so the total weight of the ice cream is :

936 * 3 = 2808 oz

1 lb is 16 oz....so 2808 oz is : 2808/16 = 175.5 lbs

if a tub of ice cream weighs 10 lbs, then richard used :

175.5 / 10 = 17.55.......he used 17.55 tubs full
