Question

Kelly needed to use 3 pounds 15 ounces of clay to make a bowl and twice as much to make a vase. If she had a 12-pound bag of clay available, did she have enough clay to make both items?

Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

so first you would convert pounds into ounces (It's easier for me)

and there are 16 ounces in one pound so for 3 pounds you would have 48 ounces then add the 15 ounces to get 63 ounces and if she needs twice as much to make a vase she would need 126 ounces for a vase then you would add the other 63 to that to get a total of 189 ounces of clay in order to create the bowl and vase, and in order to find out how many ounces are in a 12 pound bag you would just multiply 12 by 16 to get 192 ounces. So yes she does have enough clay to make a bowl and a vase.
