This is a geometric progression problem. We can the general formula that can tell us how many flowers would be planted each month.
Let's write the terms that we know and see if we can find the pattern:
The patern here is obvious. Let's write it down:
This formula gives us a number of flowers planted in the n-th month.

Answer:
a) 10 pieces of 2/3 pound can be made.
b) 0.54 pounds of wax is left over.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of clear wax available = pounds
So, the maker has in total 4.5 pounds of wax
Now, The weight of each piece = pounds
To find the number of pieces that can be made out of 4.5 pounds of wax,
let that number = n
So,
or, n =
So, nearly 6 pieces can be made completely out of the clear wax
Left over amount of wax = Total weight - Weights of the pieces made
= 4.5- 6(0.66)
= 0.54 pounds
Hence, 0.54 pounds of wax is left over
