[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to answer in the context of whatever they were studying at the time. Probably fractions and decimals. In this context, one can expect an exact answer, as a simple "4" sounds like a third grade material.[/quote] That is complete nonsense. Fractions and decimals were in the question, so yes they were studying fractions and decimals. However that has no effect on the answer to the question. The question was hoe many pots could be completed. If the question had been how many pots could be glazed, I would accept an answer of 4 and a half pots could be glazed. However how many pots can be completed means how many pots can be completely glazed, meaning can be glazed with the 1/3 cup of glaze which is what was stated as the requirement for glazing a pot completely. The answer is 4, and it doesn't matter whether the kids are studying fractions, decimals, percents, or pot glazing.[/quote]
