Question

beth works at a pottery studio, and she has some leftover clay from her last class. She splits the clay evenly into 2 separate containers so that each container has at least 5 pounds of clay in it. what is the minimum amount of leftover clay beth has

Answer 1

10 pounds. she kept 2 buckets each w with at least five pounds of clay inside, 5 pounds of clay x 2 buckets= 10 pounds of clay minimum

Answer 2

10 pounds (lbs.)

Explanation:

If you have 2 containers with 5 pounds of clay each, the equation would be 2 times 5. 2 x 5 is 10. If there is more, we don't know this as of now. The problem says "atleast", so we can assume that Beth has a minimum of 10 pounds of clay.
