Question

A potter uses 3/5 pound of clay to make a bowl how many bowls can he make with 10pounds

Answer 1

`(10)/(1)`÷
`(3)/(5)` This is the equation.
Since you are dividing, you must flip-flop the second fraction that you are using to divide.
`(3)/(5)`=
`(5)/(3)`
Once you do that, you must multiply accross.
Now it is
`(10)/(1)`×
`(5)/(3)`=
`(50)/(3)`
Now you must divide the numerator(the top) by the denominator(the bottom)
50÷3=16
`(2)/(3)` or 16.66---
