A potter uses 3/5 of a pound of clay to make a bowl. How many bowls could the potter make from 10 pounds of clay?

Sagot :

We are writing proportion:
1 bowl
10 pound of clay - x bowl
We are looking for x which is amount of bowl
After cross multiplication:
x=10
x==16,66 ,so from 10 pounds we will make 16 bowls.
