STEP 1
calculate total ounces

= 16 oz/lb * 3 lbs
= 48 ounces


STEP 2
calculate number of bolts; divide total weight (48 ounces) by ounces per bolt

x= number of bolts purchased


x= 48 ounces ÷ 1/15 oz per bolt

x= 48 ÷ 1/15
to divide by fraction; multiply by reciprocal of 1/15

x= 48 * 15/1

x= 720 bolts


ANSWER: He purchased 720 bolts

Hope this helps! :)

Perimeter of a square painting is 216 centimeters. How long is each side?
RUDIKE [14]
Perimeter is the addition of all 4 sides and a square as all the same sides. so every side will be the same. so if you divide 216 by 4 you get 54. you can check this by adding 54+54+54+54=216 or 54x4=216
