Question

Felipe made sand art bottles to sell at his school's craft fair. He wanted to use 9 different colors of sand. So, he bought 1 pound of each color. Then, he filled as many 6-ounce bottles as he could. How many sand art bottles did Felipe make?

Answer 1

Answer:  Felipe made 24 sand art bottles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total different colors of sand = 9

Weight of each color sand = 1 pound

Then, the weight of all 9 colors would be  9 × 1 = 9 pounds

Since 1 pound = 16 ounces

Then, 9 pounds = 9 × 16 = 144 ounces

capacity of each bottle = 6 ounce

Then, the number of bottles required = ( 144 ounces) ÷ 6

= 24

Hence,  Felipe made 24 sand art bottles.
