Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Lydia is painting flower vases.
Paint required for painting one flower case = 3/16 quart
total paint available with Lydia = 21/2 quart
We have to find the no of flower cases that can be painted.
This is a problem of direct variation since when no of flower cases increase paint required also increases.
3/16 quart for 1 flower case
Hence 21/2 quart for 21/2 divided by 3/16
= 21*16/(3*2) (by rule for fraction division)
= 7(8)
= 56
