At the pottery class, Lily made a clay mug measuring 6 1/6

Question

inches. She also made a flower pot, which was 1 1/2
times taller than the mug. How tall was the pot?

(Must be in simplest form)

Answer 1

To find the height of the flower pot, we first need to find the height of the mug. Since the mug measures 6 1/6 inches, we can convert it to an improper fraction:

6 1/6 = (6 * 6/6) + 1/6 = 36/6 + 1/6 = 37/6 inches

Now, we can find the height of the flower pot by multiplying the height of the mug by 1 1/2:

37/6 * 1 1/2 = (37/6) * (3/2) = (37 * 3) / (6 * 2) = 111/12 = 9 3/12 = 9 1/4

Therefore, the flower pot is 9 1/4 inches tall.
