The number of pots made are 250

The number of pots that can be made can be determined by dividing the total weight of the plastic by the weight of pots made

Number of pots made = Weight of plastic / weight of pot made

350 ÷ [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction

350 ÷ [tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex]

350 x [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] = 250 pots
