At the pottery class, Lily made a clay mug measuring 6 1/6 inches. She also made a flower pot, which was 11 /2 times taller than the mug. How tall was the pot? (Must be in simplest form) (1 point) Responses 7 2/8 9 1/4 37 fourths 24 1/12
To find the height of the flower pot, we need to multiply the height of the mug by 11/2.
6 1/6 ÷ 1 * 11/2 = (37/6) ÷ 1 * (11/2) = 37/6 * 11/2 = (37*11) / (6*2) = 407/12
Therefore, the flower pot is 407/12 inches tall. In simplest form, this is equivalent to 33 11/12 or 22 1/12 inches. So the correct answer is 24 1/12.
