Answer:

He does not have enough clay to make both the bowl and the vase together with 25 pounds.There is shortage of 29 ounces or 1 pound 13 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pound = 16 ounces

1 bowl requires 8 pound 15 ounces of clay = 8*16+15= 143 ounces

1 vase requires twice of the clay required to make a bowl = 143*2= 286 ounces

He had 25 pounds of clay= 25*16= 400 ounces

Total clay required in making a bowl and a vase is = 143+286= 429 ounces

But he has 400 ounces.

Therefore he does not have enough clay to make both the bowl and the vase together with 25 pounds.There is shortage of 29 ounces or 1 pound 13 ounces.
