Answer


\boxed {\text {10 applications can be made with the container}}



Detailed Explanation

We are going to divide in this problem to determine the amount of applications that can be made with the container.


(38)/(1) / (19)/(5)



Since, we are dividing we would need to reciprocate the divisor and multiply.


(38)/(1) * (5)/(19)= (190)/(19)


We have
(190)/(19) so we would need to divide
190 / 19 in order to determine the amount of applications that can be made with the​ container.


Solve.


190 / 19 = 10


Our answer would be


\boxed {\text {10 applications can be made with the container}}

Hey!


Since each application uses 3 4/5 grams of cream and it's sold in a 38-gram container, you have to divide 38 by 3 4/5



38 / 3 (4)/(5)


Change both to improper fraction



(38)/(1) / (19)/(5)


Keep 38/1

Change ÷ to ×

Flip 19/5 = 5/19


That gives you:



(38)/(1) * (5)/(19) = (190)/(19) = 10
