Answer:
The correct answer is 10 ounces of nails were used by Daniel to build his birdhouse.
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight of the box of nails Daniel uses = 16 ounces
Fraction of the nails used to build a birdhouse = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Weight of the nails Daniel used to build the birdhouse = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] × 16 = 10 ounces.
Thus Daniel used 10 ounces of the nails from the box of nails to make his birdhouse. We can also say that there are 6 ounces of nails left over in the box.
