You purchased 8 pounds 10 ounces of candy from a candy shop. You want to split it equally among 3 classrooms at a local school.

8 pounds 10 ounces = 138 ounces
3 classrooms = 138 ounces
1 classroom = 138/3
= 46 ounces
= 2 pounds 14 ounces

Each classroom should receive 2 pounds and 14 ounces of candy.
