Answer 2

64

Explanation:

The first thing we should know is the equivalence between pound and ounce.

1 pound equals 16 ounces. Which means that Rhada has a total of:

3 * 16 = 48 ounces of clay.

We are told that for every 3 ounces of clay you can make 4 ornaments., therefore:

48 * 4/3 = 64 ornaments

Which means that you can with the amount of clay you have can make 64 ornaments.
