So you first need to calculate 8y 2 which is basically 8x2 which equals 16 then add 16y + 17y which is 33 so your answer is 33y+2
There are 33/20 or 1.65 pounds left.
Given:
4 3/4 pounds of clay
1 1/10 pounds of clay for a cup
2 pounds of clay for a jar
Convert the mixed fraction into fractions.
4 3/4 = (4*4+3)/4 = 19/4
1 1/10 = (1*10+1)/10 = 11/10
2 = 2/1
19/4 - 11/10 = (19/4 *5/5) - (11/10 * 2/2) = 95/20 - 22/20
= (95-22)/20 = 73/20 or 3.65 pounds after making a cup
73/20 - 2/1 = 73/20 - (2/1 * 20/20) = 73/20 - 40/20 = 73 - 40 / 20 = 33/20 OR 1.65 pounds left after making a jar.
We can also convert the fractions into decimal numbers.
19/4 = 4.75
11/10 = 1.10
2/1 = 2.00
4.75 - 1.1 - 2 = 1.65 pounds left.
I think that would be a rhombus.
