Part a) how many bowls could you glaze
we know that
You have \(6\) pints of glaze. It takes \(7/8\) of a pint to glaze a bowl
so
To find the number of bowls divide \(6\) by \(7/8\)
\(\frac{6}{(7/8)}} =\frac{48}{7} =6.86\ bowls\)
therefore
the answer part a) is equal to
\(6\ bowls\)
Part b) how many plates can you glaze
You have \(6\) pints of glaze. It takes \(9/16\) of a pint to glaze a plate
so
To find the number of plates divide \(6\) by \(9/16\)
\(\frac{6}{(9/16)}} =\frac{96}{9} =10.67\ plates\)
therefore
the answer part b) is equal to
\(10\ plates\)
Part c) how much glaze will be left over?
In the Part a)
\(6-6 *\frac{7}{8} =6-\frac{42}{8} =\frac{48}{8} -\frac{42}{8}= \frac{3}{4}\ pint\ of \ glaze\ left\)
In the Part b)
\(6-10 *\frac{9}{16} =6-\frac{45}{8} =\frac{48}{8} -\frac{45}{8}= \frac{3}{8}\ pint\ of \ glaze\ left\)
