We are writing proportion:
[tex] \frac{3}{5} of a pound of clay - [/tex]1 bowl
10 pound of clay - x bowl
We are looking for x which is amount of bowl
After cross multiplication:
[tex] \frac{3}{5} [/tex]x=10
x=[tex] \frac{50}{3} [/tex]=16,66 ,so from 10 pounds we will make 16 bowls.

10 divided by 3/5 = 10 x 5/3 = 50/3 = 16 and 2/3 bowls.

That's the mathematical answer.  In the real-world pottery shop, he can
make 16 complete bowls, and have 2/5 pound of clay left over.
