Toby needs 1 2/3 pounds of clay to make one pot. how many identical pots can he make from 15 pounds of clay?

Take 15 and divide it by 1 2/3. You get roughly 9. So Toby can make 9 identical pots.

Let's solve this question using Algebra!

1 and 2/3 pounds of clay    =           1 pot
         15 pounds of clay         x number of pots

x number of pots = 1 pot x 15 pounds of clay ÷ 1 and 2/3 pounds of clay
x number of pots = 9 

Hope this helps!

38 dollars is your answer.
