Question

Answer 1

Answer:

4 sticks of clay

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$16$ · $\frac{1}{4}$

Multiply these by converting 16 into a fraction.

$\frac{16}{1}$ · $\frac{1}{4}$

Multiply the numerators and denominators across.

$\frac{16}{1}$ · $\frac{1}{4}=\frac{16}{4}$

Simplify this.

$\frac{16}{4} =4$

The total amount of clay needed is 4 sticks.

I hope this helps :) Good luck ^^
