Question

Sandy uses three and one half pounds of clay to make 7 small vases. Use a proportion to find how many pounds of clay she will use to make 21 small vases.

Answer 1

Answer: 10.5 pounds of clay

Explanation:

We know she uses three and one-half pounds of clay to make seven small vases.

3 1/2 = 3.5

21 is 3 times 7

So We take 3.5 times 3 = 10.5 pounds of clay

she will use 10.5 pounds of clay to make 21 small vases.
