Answer 1

we are given

Coach Baron bought 66 pounds of ice cream

so, total amount of ice cream is 66 pounds

firstly , we will change it into ounces

we know that

1 pound = 16 ounces

so,

66*1 pound = 66*16 ounces

66 pounds = 1056 ounces

so,

total amount of ice cream is 1056 ounces

now, we will find total number of people

we have

There are 8 tams , each with 12 people

number of people in each tam is 12

number of tams =8

so,

total number of people = number of tams* number of people in each tam

so, we get

total number of people =12*8

total number of people =96

now, we can find amount of ice cream each person get

Ice cream each person get = (total amount of ice cream)/(total number of people)

so,

Ice cream each person get is

$=\frac{1056}{96}$

$=11$

Each person will get ice cream as 11 ounces.........Answer

Answer 2
