Answer:
36 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
1 lb = 16oz
So just multiply 2 lb by 16 to get 32.
Then you can multiply 16 by 0.25 (a.k.a 1/4) OR divide 16 by 4
You get 4 ounces
Finally, add 32 and 4 to get your total of 36 ounces.
let's recall that d = rt, distance = rate * time.
we know that Steve is twice as fast as Jill, so say if Jill has a speed or rate of "r", then Steve is traveling at 2r fast, now we know they both in opposite directions have covered a total of 120 miles, so if Jill covered "d" miles then Steve covered 120 -d, check the picture below.

OK so if 70% of students in 8th grade have siblings and 112 8th graders have siblings, then:
0.7(total 8th graders) = 112
total 8th graders = 112/0.7
total 8th graders = 160
And since the number of 8th graders is 5/6 the size of the 7th grade class:
5/6(7th grade class) = 160
5(7th grade class) = 960
7th grade class = 192.
The correct answer is D) 192.
Hope this helps
