Ted and Carl share a 16-ounce bucket of clay. By the end of the week, Ted has used 5/8 of the bucket, and Carl has used 1/4 of the bucket of clay. How many ounces are left in the bucket?

2 ounce of clay are left in the bucket

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of clay to share = 16 ounce

amount used by Ted = 5/ 8 x 16=10 ounce

Amount used by Carl = 1/4 x 16= 4 ounce

Amount of clay  remaining= Total clay - amount used by Ted and Carl

= 16-(10+4)

=16-14

=2 ounce of clay left in the bucket
