Answer:

Dakota must put 50 grams of clay in each pot to be able to divide the clay into 8 equal parts.

Explanation:

Given that Dakota has 4/10 kg of clay and I divided the clay to make eight equal pots, to determine how many grams of clay are in each pot the following calculation must be performed:

4/10 kg = 0.4 kg = 400 grams

400/8 = X

50 = X

Thus, Dakota must put 50 grams of clay in each pot to be able to divide the clay into 8 equal parts.
