Hectors school is having a model rocket contest. To be in the contest, each rocket must weigh 4 pounds or less. Without any paint, Hectors rocket weighs 62 ounces. If Hector want to paint his rocket, what is the weight of the most paint he can use?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2 Ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each rocket must weigh 4 pounds or less.

  • 1 Pound=16 Ounces

Therefore: 4 Pounds =16 X 4=64 Ounces

Since Hectors rocket weighs 62 ounces and he cannot exceed 64 Ounces, the weight of the most paint he can use is:

64-62=2 Ounces.

He can use paint that weights at most 2 Ounces.
