You purchased 8 pounds 10 ounces of candy from a candy shop. you want to split it equally among 3 classrooms at a local school.

Each classroom will  receive 2 pounds and 14 ounces of candy .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  

Purchased candy= 8 pounds and 10 ounces

First we convert pound into ounces

1 Pound=16 ounces

8 pound =

8 pounds= 128 ounces

Now, purchased candy in ounces= 128+10=138 ounces

If we want  to distribute  purchased candy into three calssroom equally

Therefore, we divide purchased candy by 3

Each classroom receive candy=

Each classroom receive candy=46 ounces

Each classroom receive candy in pounds

16 ounces=1 pound

1 ounces= pounds

46 ounces=2 pounds and 14 ounces

Each classroom receive candy=2 pounds and 14 ounces

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled

i think it might be a but you might want a second opinion
