Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean and Greg share a 24-ounce bucket of clay

Sean uses 3/8 of the bucket

= 3/8 ×24

= 9 ounce

Greg uses 1/4 if the bucket

= 1/4 ×24

= 6 ounce

= 9+6

= 15 ounce

Therefore the quantity left in the bucket can be calculated as follows

= 24-15

= 9

Hence 9 ounces are left in the bucket
