The answer is 2 plates and .50 glaze left over.

How did I get this?

First lets calculate how many bowls can we glaze. 
5 bowls * 7/8 of a pint = 4.375 pints
4.375 = how many glaze we will need to make 5 bowls.

6 pints - 4.375pints = 1.625 pints left over after we glaze the bowls. 

Now, we need to figure out how many plates we can make with 1.625 glaze.

P X 9/16 = 1.625
Multiply both sides by 16/9 to isolate the variable.
P = 1.625*16/9 
P = 2.88 plates

So, we can only glaze 2 plates. 

How many glaze is left over?
First, how many glaze did we have left over from the bowls? 1.625 glaze
Then, how many plates did we make? 2 at .5625 each = 1.125 glaze

1.625 - 1.125 = .50 glaze left over.

The answer is 2 plates and .50 glaze left over.

forsale [732]
To find the percent of the total that George collected, you need to create a ratio with the number of pounds George collected compared to the number of total pounds that were collected.

You will then divide these to find the part (decimal) that George collected. You can convert the decimal to a percent.

3 1/4+6 1/3+11 1/6 = 20 3/4 total pounds of cans.

11 1/6 George
20 3/4 total

11 1/6÷20 3/4 = 0.538
0.538 is approximately 54%.

George collected proximately 54% of the total amount of cans.
