To find the number of blocks Zoe placed on the scale, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Number of blocks} = \frac{\text{Total weight}}{\text{Weight of each block}}
\]
In this case, the total weight is 12.8 ounces and the weight of each block is 0.8 ounces.
Now we can calculate:
\[
\text{Number of blocks} = \frac{12.8 \, \text{ounces}}{0.8 \, \text{ounces/block}} = 16
\]
So, Zoe placed 16 blocks on the scale.
The answer is:
16 blocks
\[
\text{Number of blocks} = \frac{\text{Total weight}}{\text{Weight of each block}}
\]
In this case, the total weight is 12.8 ounces and the weight of each block is 0.8 ounces.
Now we can calculate:
\[
\text{Number of blocks} = \frac{12.8 \, \text{ounces}}{0.8 \, \text{ounces/block}} = 16
\]
So, Zoe placed 16 blocks on the scale.
The answer is:
16 blocks
