Question:
Lynn is making custom bricks. She combines 39 pounds of water and 48 pounds of brick dust in a mixing bucket. She spills 13 pounds of the mixture while stirring the contents. The mixture is then poured into small dirt holes to make bricks. Each brick requires 7 pounds of mixture, and the leftover mixture is washed out of the mixing bucket.
What is the greatest number of bricks Lynn can make?
How many pounds of mixture will be washed out of the bucket if Lynn makes the greatest number of bricks?
Answer:
Greatest number of bricks = 70
Washed out mixture = 4 pounds
Therefore, Lynn can make at most 70 bricks and 4 pounds of mixture will be washed out if she makes 70 bricks.
Explanation:
She combines 39 pounds of water and 48 pounds of brick dust in a mixing bucket.
Amount of mixture = 39 pounds of water + 48 pounds of brick dust
Amount of mixture = 87 pounds
She spills 13 pounds of the mixture while stirring the contents.
Amount of mixture left = 87 pounds - 13 pounds
Amount of mixture left = 74 pounds
Each brick requires 7 pounds of mixture
What is the greatest number of bricks Lynn can make?
Greatest number of bricks = 7×10
Greatest number of bricks = 70
How many pounds of mixture will be washed out of the bucket if Lynn makes the greatest number of bricks?
Washed out mixture = 74 pounds - 70 pounds
Washed out mixture = 4 pounds
Therefore, Lynn can make at most 70 bricks and 4 pounds of mixture will be washed out if she makes 70 bricks.
