Question

Rhada has a 6-pound bag of day . Her craft project requires 6 ounces of clay for each batch of 3 ornaments,

Answer 1

Rhada can make 48 ornaments if she uses all of the clay.

Explanation:

The complete question is:

Rhada has a 6-pound bag of day . Her craft project requires 6 ounces of clay for each batch of 3 ornaments. If she uses all of the clay, how many ornaments can Rhada make?

Solution:

The amount of clay Rhada has, X = 6-pound.

Convert the weight of clay bag into ounces as follows:

1 pound = 16 ounces

6 pound = 16 × 6

= 96 ounces.

So, Rhada has 96 ounces of clay.

It is provided that her craft project requires 6 ounces of clay for each batch of ornaments.

Compute the number of batches that can be made by 96 ounces of clay as follows:

Number of batches = Total weight of clay ÷ Amount required for each batch

`=(96)/(6)\\=16`

Thus, Rhada can make 16 batches of ornaments.

Now, it is also provided that each batch has 3 ornaments.

Compute the number of ornaments in 16 batches as follows:

Number of ornaments = Number of batches × No. of ornament in 1 batch

`=16* 3\\=48`

Thus, Rhada can make 48 ornaments if she uses all of the clay.
