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 .
