For an art project,each person needs 2/3 of a pound of clay. If there are 4 pounds of clay, how many people can do the project?

Question

Clearly i need help with the problems sometimes to understand what it means

Answer 1

Divide 4 pounds by 2/3 of a pound per person to get the number of people.

 

(4 pounds)/(2/3 pound/person) = (3/2)(4) people = 12/2 people = 6 people
