Given :
Jack bought 50 lbs of clay for his art projects. He used 13.2 lbs to make a sculpture, and 0.72 lbs for each mug.
To Find :
How many mugs did Jack make if he had 28.88 lbs of clay left over.
Solution :
Clay required to make 1 mug, r = 0.72 lbs.
Amount of clay left after making sculpture is, T = 28.88 lbs.
Now, number of clay mug Jack can make is :
Since, number of mug cannot be in decimal, so we take the floor value.
Therefore, number of mug that can be prepared is 40 .
Answer:
Total number of puppies in the litter = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of yellow puppies in the litter = y
And the number of black puppies in the litter = b
If there was one less black puppy, ratio of yellow to black puppies =
2(b - 1) = 3y
3y - 2b = -2 -----(1)
If there was one more black puppy, ratio of yellow puppies to black puppies =
2y = b + 1
2y - b = 1 -------(2)
Equation (1) - 2× equation (2)
(3y - 2b) - 2(2y - b) = -2 - 2
3y - 4y - 2b + 2b = -4
y = 4
From equation (1),
3×4 - 2b = -2
12 - 2b = -2
-2b = -14
b = 7
Total number of puppies in the litter = 7 + 4 = 11
