Question

There are 16 students working on a project if each student need 1/4 stick of clay are needed in all?

Answer 1

4 sticks of clay

Explanation:

To find the total amount of clay needed, multiply the number of students by the amount need for each one of them.

`16` ·
`(1)/(4)`

Multiply these by converting 16 into a fraction.

`(16)/(1)` ·
`(1)/(4)`

Multiply the numerators and denominators across.

`(16)/(1)` ·
`(1)/(4)=(16)/(4)`

Simplify this.

`(16)/(4) =4`

The total amount of clay needed is 4 sticks.

I hope this helps :) Good luck ^^
