Answer:
Part a) [tex] 6\ bowls [/tex]
Part b) [tex] 10\ plates [/tex]
Part c) see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Part a) How many bowls could you glaze
we know that
You have [tex] 6 [/tex] pints of glaze.
It takes [tex] 7/8 [/tex] of a pint to glaze a bowl
so
To find the number of bowls divide [tex] 6 [/tex] by [tex] 7/8 [/tex]
[tex] \frac{6}{(7/8)}}=\frac{48}{7} =6.86\ bowls [/tex]
You can't glaze part of a bowl, so you can glaze 6 bowls
Part b) How many plates can you glaze
You have [tex] 6 [/tex] pints of glaze.
It takes [tex] 9/16 [/tex] of a pint to glaze a plate
so
To find the number of plates divide [tex] 6 [/tex] by [tex] 9/16 [/tex]
[tex] \frac{6}{(9/16)}}=\frac{96}{9} =10.67\ plates [/tex]
You can't glaze part of a plate, so you can glaze 10 plates
Part c) How much glaze will be left over?
In the Part a)
[tex] 6-6 *\frac{7}{8} =6-\frac{42}{8} =\frac{48}{8} -\frac{42}{8}= \frac{3}{4}\ pint\ of \ glaze[/tex]
In the Part b)
[tex] 6-10 *\frac{9}{16} =6-\frac{45}{8} =\frac{48}{8} -\frac{45}{8}= \frac{3}{8}\ pint\ of \ glaze[/tex]
