Sagot :

Given :

Jack bought 50 lbs of clay for his art projects. He used 13.2 lbs to make a sculpture, and 0.72 lbs for each mug.

To Find :

How many mugs did Jack make if he had 28.88 lbs of clay left over.

Solution :

Clay required to make 1 mug, r = 0.72 lbs.

Amount of clay left after making sculpture is, T = 28.88 lbs.

Now, number of clay mug Jack can make is :

[tex]n = \dfrac{28.88}{0.72}\\\\n= 40.11[/tex]

Since, number of mug cannot be in decimal, so we take the floor value.

Therefore, number of mug that can be prepared is 40 .
