Question

Todd has 8/9 pound of clay. He will use 1/3 pound to make each action figure. How many action figures can he make?

Answer 1

Todd can make 8/3 action figures.

Explanation:

To find out how many action figures Todd can make, you need to divide the total amount of clay he has by the amount of clay he uses for each action figure. In this case, you can divide 8/9 pounds by 1/3 pounds to get the following:

(8/9) / (1/3) = (8/9) * (3/1) = 24/9

Since 24/9 can be simplified to 8/3, Todd can make 8/3 action figures.
