10 divided by 3/5 = 10 x 5/3 = 50/3 = 16 and 2/3 bowls.
That's the mathematical answer. In the real-world pottery shop, he can
make 16 complete bowls, and have 2/5 pound of clay left over.

We are writing proportion:
1 bowl
10 pound of clay - x bowl
We are looking for x which is amount of bowl
After cross multiplication:
x=10
x=
=16,66 ,so from 10 pounds we will make 16 bowls.
