Answer 1

Richard used 58.5 tubs of icecream.

Answer 2

234 Reg + 156 Lge = 400 Total cones
Reg = 2 scoops (6 ounces)
Lge = 3 scoops ( 9 ounces)
234 * 6 = 1,404 ounces
156 * 9 =  1,404 ounces

1404 + 1404 = 2,808 total ounces
2,808 / 16 = 175.5 pounds of ice cream
One tub = 10 pounds so, 17.55 tubs were used.
