A ceramic artist can shape a pot in 3 minutes. It takes 10 minutes to fire one batch of pots in the kiln. If there are p pots in a batch, which expression represents the time it takes to shape and fire one batch of pots? How long will it take the potter to form and fire a batch of 10 pots?

Respuesta :

Answer:

t = 40 minutes for p = 10 pots

Step-by-step explanation:

given  p  pots in a batch.

Let t = time it takes to finish a pot

t = 3*p +  10

so  if p = 10 pots,  

t = 3*10 + 10 = 30 + 10 = 40 minutes
