Answer:

a. How many bowls could you glaze?

6 bowls

How many plates could you glaze?

10 plates

b. You want to glaze 5 bowls, and then use the rest for plates.

How many plates can you glaze?

2 plates

How much glaze will be left over?

8/9 of glaze would be left

c. How many of each object could you glaze so that there is no glaze left over? Explain how you found your answer.

4 4/23 bowls and 4 4/23 plates

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question

Number of pints of glaze = 6 pints

Number of pints to glaze a bowl= 7/8 of pint

Number of pints to glaze a plate = 9/16 of a pint

a.

How many bowls could you glaze?

7/8 pint = 1 bowl

6 pints = x

Cross Multiply

x = 6 pints/ 7/8

= 6 × 8/7

= 48/7

= 6.8571428571 bowls

We can only glaze whole numbers of a bowl, hence, we can only glaze 6 bowls

How many plates could you glaze?

9/16 pint = 1 bowl

6 pints = y

y = 6 pints/ 9/16

= 6 × 16/9

= 10.666666667 plates

We can only glaze whole number of a plate, hence, we can only glaze 10 plates

b. You want to glaze 5 bowls, and then use the rest for plates.

1 bowl = 7/8 pints

5 bowls = z

Cross Multiply

z = 5 × 7/8pints

= 4 3/8 pints of glaze would be used for bowls

How many plates can you glaze?

The rest is for plates, hence:

The amount of glaze left for plates is calculated as:

6 pints - 4 3/8

1 5/8 pints of glaze would be left over to glaze plates.

So therefore,

9/16 pints = 1 plate

1 5/8 pints =

= 2 8/9

Hence we can only glaze 2 plates

How much glaze will be left over?

2 8/9 pints - 2 pints

= 8/9 pints of glaze.

c. How many of each object could you glaze so that there is no glaze left over?

We have 6 pints of glaze

Number of pints to glaze a bowl= 7/8 of pint

Number of pints to glaze a plate = 9/16 of a pint

Let the number of each objects be represented by x

7/8 × x + 9/16 × x = 6 pints

= 4 4/23 bowls and 4 4/23 plates

A circular swimming pool has a radius of 15 ft. There is a path all around that pool that is three feet wide. What is the circum
ELEN [110]
To find the circumference of a circle you use the formula, C=2*pi*radius or C=pi*diameter, in his case you would use the first option, C=2*pi*radius, because the radius is the given value. You then plug the values into the equation to solve for the circumference...
C=2*pi*15
C=30*pi
C=30pi or approximately 94.2478

A frame is 9in wide and 6 in tall. If it reduces to a width of 3 in then how tall will it be?
Anarel [89]

Given

A frame is 9in wide and 6 in tall.

If it reduces to a width of 3 in

Find out the  how tall will it be .

To proof

As given in the question

A frame is 9in wide and 6 in tall.

reduces to a width of 3 in

now as shown in the table given below

This table shows that the  width of a frame is directly proportional to the height (tall) of the frame.

let us assume that the height of the frame after reduces width to 3in be = x

than the equation becomes  

\frac{original\ width}{original\ height} = \frac{reduces\ width }{reduces\ height}

put the all the value

we get

\frac{9}{6} = \frac{3}{x}

solve the  above

x = \frac{6\times3}{9}

x = 2in

therefore 2in tall will be the frame .

Hence proved
