    Mr. Miles's statement is NOT reasonable

    Explanation:

    If Mr. Miles uses 2 1/10 pounds of clay for each model, Mr. Miles will have used a total of 6.3 pounds of clay.

    The decimal form of 7 7/8 is 7.875, so 7.875 minus 6.3 will give you the amount of clay Mr. Miles has left over.

    7.875 - 6.3 = 1.575

    This means that Mr. Miles statement is not reasonable, as he only has about 1.6 pounds of clay left, not 3.
