The total volume of clay Dominic has is the volume of the block; length⋅width⋅height. That's 24.5 ⋅ 12.5 ⋅ 8 = 2450 inches cubed.

We'll divide the total volume of clay Dominic has by the required clay per vase to find how many vases he can make: 2450 ÷ 50 = 49 vases.

Dominic can make a maximum of 49 vases.
