Hey!
Since each application uses 3 4/5 grams of cream and it's sold in a 38-gram container, you have to divide 38 by 3 4/5
[tex] 38 \div 3 \frac{4}{5} [/tex]
Change both to improper fraction
[tex] \frac{38}{1} \div \frac{19}{5} [/tex]
Keep 38/1
Change ÷ to ×
Flip 19/5 = 5/19
That gives you:
[tex] \frac{38}{1} \times \frac{5}{19} = \frac{190}{19} = 10 [/tex]
[tex] \framebox{10 applications can be made} [/tex]
Answer
[tex] \boxed {\text {10 applications can be made with the container}} [/tex]
Detailed Explanation
We are going to divide in this problem to determine the amount of applications that can be made with the container.
[tex] \frac{38}{1} \div \frac{19}{5} [/tex]
Since, we are dividing we would need to reciprocate the divisor and multiply.
[tex] \frac{38}{1} \times \frac{5}{19}= \frac{190}{19} [/tex]
We have [tex]\frac{190}{19}[/tex] so we would need to divide [tex] 190 \div 19 [/tex] in order to determine the amount of applications that can be made with the container.
Solve.
[tex] 190 \div 19 = 10 [/tex]
Our answer would be
[tex] \boxed {\text {10 applications can be made with the container}} [/tex]
