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.

at the mall the cost of a pretzel is $2 less than the cost of some ice cream. five ice creams cost the same as nine pretzels. fi

Elanso [62]

Cost of one pretzel is $2.5 and cost of one ice cream is $4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of pretzel = x

Cost of ice cream = y

According to given statement;

the cost of a pretzel is $2 less than the cost of some ice cream.

x = y - 2 Eqn 1

five ice creams cost the same as nine pretzels.

9x = 5y Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

$9(y-2)=5y\\9y-18=5y\\9y-5y=18\\4y=18$

Dividing both sides by 4

$\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{18}{4}\\y=4.5$

Putting y=4.5 in Eqn 1

$x=4.5-2\\x=2.5$

Cost of one pretzel is $2.5 and cost of one ice cream is $4.5
