Respuesta :
7/10 x 8 = 5 6/10
15 5/8 - 5 6/10 = 10 1/40
10 1/40 / 7/10 = 14 9/28
so he can make 14 more bowls and 9/28 of another bowl so you round down to 14 complete bowls.
15 5/8 - 5 6/10 = 10 1/40
10 1/40 / 7/10 = 14 9/28
so he can make 14 more bowls and 9/28 of another bowl so you round down to 14 complete bowls.
Answer:
He can make 14 more bowls.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Gabriel has [tex]15\frac{5}{8}[/tex] pounds of clay. He will use [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex] pound to make each bowl.
To find : After making 8 bowls he wonders how many more bowls he can make ?
Solution :
Gabriel has [tex]15\frac{5}{8}=\frac{125}{8}[/tex] pounds of clay.
For 1 bowl he use [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex] pound.
For 8 bowl he use [tex]\frac{7}{10}\times 8[/tex] pound.
For 8 bowl he use [tex]\frac{56}{10}[/tex] pound.
The clay left to make rest bowl is given by,
[tex]r=\frac{125}{8}-\frac{56}{10}[/tex]
[tex]r=\frac{1250-448}{80}[/tex]
[tex]r=\frac{802}{80}[/tex]
From [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex] pound of clay he make 1 bowl.
From [tex]\frac{802}{80}[/tex] pound of clay he can make [tex]\frac{\frac{802}{80}}{\frac{7}{10}}[/tex] bowl.
From [tex]\frac{802}{80}[/tex] pound of clay he can make [tex]\frac{802\times 10}{80\times 7}[/tex] bowl.
From [tex]\frac{802}{80}[/tex] pound of clay he can make [tex]14.3[/tex] bowl.
i.e. Approximately he can make 14 more bowls.
