Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount of bowls he can make given the pounds of clay and the pound needed to make a bowl = [tex]15\frac{5}{8}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{125}{8}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{125}{8}[/tex] ×[tex]\frac{10}{7}[/tex] = 22.32
Number of bowls he can more more = total amount of bowls that can be made - number of bowls already made
22.32 - 8 = 14.32 bowls
Rounding off to the nearest whole number gives 14
