Richard works at an ice cream shop. Regular cones get two scoops of ice cream, and large cones get three scoops of ice cream. Richard scoops 234 regular cones and 156 large cones. One scoop of ice cream is 3 ounces. A tub of ice cream weighs 10 pounds. How many tubs of ice cream did Richard use?

Answer :

234 Reg + 156 Lge = 400 Total cones
Reg = 2 scoops (6 ounces)
Lge = 3 scoops ( 9 ounces)
234 * 6 =




1,404 ounces




156 * 9 = 1,404 ounces

1404 + 1404 = 2,808 total ounces
2,808 / 16 = 175.5 pounds of ice cream
One tub = 10 pounds so, 17.55 tubs were used.
Richard used 58.5 tubs of icecream.
