Mr Reams uses 10 cups of paint to fill the small dishes, therefore, the amount of paints left in the bowl is 2 cups.

<h3>How to convert ounces to cups?</h3>

He mixes 12 cups of paints in a large bowl.

He uses the paint to fill 40 small dishes with 2 fluid ounces of paint each.

1 small dish = 2 fluid ounces

40 small dishes = 80 fluid ounces

Therefore,

1 fluid 0unces = 0.125 cups

80 fluid ounces = ?

cross multiply

amount of paint filled = 80 × 0.125 = 10 cups

Therefore, the amount of cups pf paint Mr Reams have left in the bowl is 12 cups - 10 cups = 2 cups.
