Answer:


(2)/(5)-pound of sand

Explanation:

We have been given that Amber has
(4)/(5)-pound bag of colored sand. She uses 1/2 of the bag for the project.

We need to find 1/2 'of' the 4/5 as:


(4)/(5)* (1)/(2)


(4*1)/(5*2)


(2*1)/(5*1)


(2)/(5)

Therefore, Amber used
(2)/(5)-pound of sand for the project.
