Step-by-step explanation: We can use a simplified form of an equation for this specific problem, since a solution is (3,4), if you plugin 3 for x and 4 for y you get the same thing. Since 4 times 3 equals 3 times 4 you can call x as 4 and y as 3. You can simply multiply this by 2 for another equation since it doesn't affect the ratio. I hope this helps!
7/10 x 8 = 5 6/10 15 5/8 - 5 6/10 = 10 1/40 10 1/40 / 7/10 = 14 9/28 so he can make 14 more bowls and 9/28 of another bowl so you round down to 14 complete bowls.
