Answer:

384bolts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound

the carpenter bought 2 pounds

hence he has 32 ounces altogether

also each bolt weighed 1/12 ounce

Hence in 32 ounces there are

32/1/12

multiply 32 by the inverse of the denominator we have

=32*12/1

=384bolts
