A baker has 20 pounds of dough. He needs 8 ounces of dough to bake a cake and 2 ounces of dough to make a cupcake. On Monday, he bakes 10 cakes and 20 cupcakes.
What is the greatest number of cupcakes that the baker can bake with the leftover dough on Tuesday?
20lb X 16 = 320 ounces available
8oz X 10 = 80 oz of dough for cake on Monday
2oz X 20 = 40 oz of dough for cupcakes on Monday
320 - 80 - 40 = 200 oz of dough left!
200/2 = 100 - he can make 100 cupcakes with the leftover dough!

blue snake: 4 yards = 12 feet
yellow snake: 4 yards/2 = 2 yards = 6 feet
