David used 14 1/4 pounds of clay to make 3 pots. At this rate, how many pounds of clay would he need to make 10 pots?
Mistake in other question XD
OwO
If so, you made the same mistake here.
See the earlier post.

To solve this problem, we can find the clay used per pot first and then use it to calculate the clay needed for 10 pots.
David used 14 1/4 pounds of clay to make 3 pots, so we need to find how much clay he used per pot. To do that, we divide the total clay used (14 1/4 pounds) by the number of pots (3):
14 1/4 pounds ÷ 3 pots = 4 3/4 pounds per pot
Now, we know that David used 4 3/4 pounds (or 4.75 pounds) of clay per pot.
To find out how much clay he would need for 10 pots, we multiply the amount of clay used per pot by the number of pots:
4 3/4 pounds per pot × 10 pots = 47 1/2 pounds
Therefore, David would need 47 1/2 pounds (or 47.5 pounds) of clay to make 10 pots.
