Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand that 1 soap is made from 11 parts and 1 part is left as scrap after making 1 soap.

Step 1: We know that we have 251 scraps at the end of the day.

Step 2: Since 1 soap can be made from 11 parts, we need to find out how many soaps can be made from 251 parts.

Step 3: To do this, we divide 251 by 11.

251 ÷ 11 = 22.81

Since we can't make a fraction of a soap, we round down to the nearest whole number.

So, we can make 22 soaps from the 251 scraps.
