Keiko needed to use 4 pounds 14 ounces of clay to make a bowl and twice as much to make a vase. If she had a 15 pound bag of clay available, did she have enough clay to make both items?

Question

its a math problem from zearn

Answer 1

4 lbs 14 oz +8lbs 28 oz =

12 lbs 42 oz = 14 lbs 10 oz < 15 lbs

16 oz = 1 lb

1 ounce = .0625 lb.

42(.0625)= 2.625 lbs.= 2 5/8 lbs.

14.625= 14 5/8 < 15 lbs.

she has enough, plus 2 ounces extra
