[tex] \frac{10}{1} [/tex]÷[tex] \frac{3}{5} [/tex] This is the equation.
Since you are dividing, you must flip-flop the second fraction that you are using to divide. [tex] \frac{3}{5} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{5}{3} [/tex]
Once you do that, you must multiply accross.
Now it is [tex] \frac{10}{1} [/tex]×[tex] \frac{5}{3} [/tex]=[tex] \frac{50}{3} [/tex]
Now you must divide the numerator(the top) by the denominator(the bottom)
50÷3=16[tex] \frac{2}{3} [/tex] or 16.66---

Answer:

3/5)lb  / 1 bowl    =  10lbs / ?bowls        cross-multiply

?bowls* (3/5)  = 1 *10

?bowls * (3/5)  = 10      multiply both sides by 5/3

?bowls = 10 (5/3)   = 50/3 bowls = [16 + 2/3] bowls
