Lynn is making custom bricks. She combines 39 pounds of water and 48 pounds of brick dust in a mixing bucket. She spills 13 pounds of the mixture while stirring the contents. The mixture is then poured into small dirt holes to make bricks. Each brick requires 7 pounds of mixture, and the leftover mixture is washed out of the mixing bucket.

What is the greatest number of bricks Lynn can make?
And how many pounds of mixture will be washed out of the bucket if Lynn makes the greatest number of bricks?

39 + 48 = 87

87 - 13 = 74
74/7 = 10 4/7
so 10 bricks with 4 pounds left over to wash out.

(39+48-13)/7 = ___ bricks

To find the greatest number of bricks Lynn can make, we need to determine how many complete sets of 7 pounds of mixture can be made from the remaining mixture after spilling.

First, let's calculate the initial total weight of the mixture:
Total weight = Water weight + Brick dust weight
Total weight = 39 pounds + 48 pounds
Total weight = 87 pounds

Next, let's subtract the weight of the spilled mixture:
Remaining mixture weight = Total weight - Spilled mixture weight
Remaining mixture weight = 87 pounds - 13 pounds
Remaining mixture weight = 74 pounds

Now, let's calculate the maximum number of bricks that can be made from the remaining mixture by dividing the weight of the remaining mixture by the weight of a single brick:
Max number of bricks = Remaining mixture weight / Weight per brick
Max number of bricks = 74 pounds / 7 pounds
Max number of bricks ≈ 10.57

Since we cannot make a fraction of a brick, the greatest number of bricks Lynn can make is 10.

To determine the weight of the mixture that will be washed out of the bucket, we need to subtract the weight of the mixture used to make the bricks from the initial total weight.

Weight of the mixture used to make the bricks = Weight per brick × Number of bricks
Weight of the mixture used to make the bricks = 7 pounds × 10 bricks
Weight of the mixture used to make the bricks = 70 pounds

Weight of the mixture washed out = Initial total weight - Weight of the mixture used to make the bricks
Weight of the mixture washed out = 87 pounds - 70 pounds
Weight of the mixture washed out = 17 pounds

Therefore, if Lynn makes the greatest number of bricks, 10 bricks, she will wash out 17 pounds of the mixture from the bucket.
