A potter uses 3/5th of a pound of clay to make a bowl. How many bowls could the potter make from 10 pounds of clay?

Sagot :

[tex] \frac{3}{5} = 0.6[/tex]

[tex] \frac{0.6}{1} = \frac{10}{x} [/tex]

[tex]0.6x=10[/tex]

[tex]x= \frac{10}{0.6} [/tex]

[tex]x=16 \frac{2}{3} [/tex]


16 complete bowls or 16 2/3 bowls
[tex]10:\frac{3}{5}=10 \cdot \frac{5}{3}=\frac{50}{3}=16\frac{2}{3}\\ \\Answer : \ 16 \ complete \ bowls[/tex]
