Question

Ms reynolds has 5 pounds of clay for her art club. If she divides the clay into 1 third pound pieces, how many pieces will she have?

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

Total quantity of clay = 5 pound

Now, Reynolds divides the clay into 1 third pound pieces.

this means each piece of clay weighs = 1/3 pounds

Therefore, number of pieces of clay = Total weight of clay/ weight of each piece

= 5/(1/3) = 15
