Answer 1

Kai can make 4 bowls with the 2 lb of clay he has, as each bowl requires 0.5 lb of clay.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the number of bowls that can be made with a given amount of clay. Assuming each bowl requires a 0.5 lb of clay, and Kai has 2 lb available, we can calculate the number of bowls by simple division.

Kai has 2 lb of clay, and each bowl requires 0.5 lb, so:

• Number of bowls = Total clay ÷ Clay per bowl
• Number of bowls = 2 lb ÷ 0.5 lb/bowl
• Number of bowls = 4 bowls

Therefore, Kai can make 4 bowls with the 2 lb of clay available.
