Jack and Carl share a 30-ounce bucket of clay. By the end of the week, Jack has used 1/10 of the bucket, and Carl has used 2/5 of the bucket of clay. How many ounces are left in the bucket?

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're working with fractions, and the thirty ounce bucket is equivalent to 30/30. In order to make this easier, let's use the denominator of 30 for all of the fractions. Now that we've made them all equal, turning 1/10 to 3/30, and 2/5 to 12/30, let's add. 12 + 3 is 15, and 15/30 is half of 30/30. There was 15 ounces, or 1/2 of the tub, left.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
