Answer:
a.
How many bowls could you glaze?
we can only glaze 6 bowls
How many plates could you 10 plates
b. You want to glaze 5 bowls, and then use the rest for plates.
How many plates can you glaze?
Hence we can only glaze 2 plates
How much glaze will be left over?
8/9
c. How many of each object could you glaze so that there is no glaze left over?
= 4 4/23 bowls and 4 4/23 plates
Step-by-step explanation:
You have 6 pints of glaze. It takes 7/8 of a pint to glaze a bowl and 9/16 of a pint to glaze a plate.
a.
How many bowls could you glaze?
It takes 7/8 of a pint to glaze a bowl
We have 6 pint
7/8 pint = 1 bowl
6 pints =
6 pints/ 7/8
= 6 × 8/7
= 48/7
= 6.8571428571 bowls
We can't glaze decimal of a bowl, hence, we can only glaze 6 bowls
How many plates could you glaze?9/16 of a pint to glaze a plate.
9/16 pint = 1 bowl
6 pints =
6 pints/ 9/16
= 6 × 16/9
= 10.666666667 plates
We can't glaze decimal of a plate, hence, hence 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 =
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:
6 pints - 4 3/8
1 5/8 pints of glaze would be left over to glaze plates.
Hence if
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?
8/9
You could glaze plates and will have pints of glaze left over.
c. How many of each object could you glaze so that there is no glaze left over?
We have 6 pints of glaze
7/8 x + 9/16 × x = 6 pints
= 4 4/23 bowls and 4 4/23 plates
