D) 3/8 lb

Answer 1

Ali uses 3/4 pound of clay for a set of bowls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ali uses 3/8 of a 2-pound bag of clay to make a set of bowls. Since each set has 4 bowls, we need to find out how many pounds of clay Ali uses for a set of bowls.

First, we need to find out how much clay is in 3/8 of a 2-pound bag. To do this, we multiply 3/8 by 2.

(3/8) * 2 = 6/8 = 3/4 pound

So, Ali uses 3/4 pound of clay for a set of bowls.
