A potter uses 3/5th of a pound of clay to make a bowl. How many bowls could the potter make from 10 pounds of clay?
\(\frac{3}{5} = 0.6\)
\(\frac{0.6}{1} = \frac{10}{x}\)
\(0.6x=10\)
\(x= \frac{10}{0.6}\)
\(x=16 \frac{2}{3}\)
16 complete bowls or 16 2/3 bowls
\(10:\frac{3}{5}=10 \cdot \frac{5}{3}=\frac{50}{3}=16\frac{2}{3}\\ \\Answer : \ 16 \ complete \ bowls\)
