    Amount of ounces of candy left = 22ounces

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Amount of halloween candy bought by Jack = 5pounds

    Amount he gave trick = 3pounds

    Amount jack ate = 10ounces

    Before we can determine the amount of halloween candy that Jack has left, we need to convert the pounds to ounces in order to make the units consistent.

    given 1pound = 16ounces

    5pounds = 16 * 5 ounces

    5pounds = 80ounces

    Also;

    3pounds = 16*3 ounces

    3pounds = 48ounces

    Total amount of halloween used up by Jack = 48ounces + 10ounces

    = 58ounces

    Amount of ounces of candy left = Total amount of candy bought - amount used up

    Amount of ounces of candy left = 80ounces - 58ounces

    Amount of ounces of candy left = 22ounces
