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
