joseph has 2 pounds of clay and Sarah has 1/4 times the amount of joseph's clay. how much clay does sarah have ?

Answer 1

Since Sarah has 1/4 the amount that Joseph has, Sarah will have less than Joseph. To determine the amount she will have, multiply 1/4 by 2:

1/4 * 2 = 1/2 pound

Sarah will have 1/2 pound.

NOTE: ( Four 1/2 pound portions would be equivalent to 2 pounds since two 1/2 pound portions is equivalent to 1 pound.)
