at camp, miriam learned how to use a pottery wheel. she can make 3 bowls in 2 hours. how long will it take her to make a set of 12 bowls?

16

3bowls=2hours

6bowls=4hours
9bowls=8hours
12bowls=___hours

16

To find out how long it will take Miriam to make a set of 12 bowls, we can set up a proportion.

We know that Miriam can make 3 bowls in 2 hours. So, the ratio of bowls made to hours is 3/2.

Let's use this ratio to find out the time it takes to make 12 bowls.

Proportion: (Bowls made) / (Hours) = (Bowls to make) / (Time to make them)

Using the proportion, we can set up the equation:

3/2 = 12/x

In this equation, x represents the time it takes to make 12 bowls.

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

3x = 12 * 2

3x = 24

Finally, divide both sides by 3 to isolate x:

x = 24 / 3

x = 8

Therefore, it will take Miriam 8 hours to make a set of 12 bowls.
