An art teacher has 1 1/2 pounds of red clay and 3/4 pound of yellow clay. The teacher mixes the red clay and yellow clay together. Each student in the class needs 1/8 pound of the clay mixture to finish the assigned art project for the class. How many students can get enough clay to finish the project?

Question

An art teacher has 1 1/2 pounds of red clay and 3/4 pound of yellow clay. The teacher mixes the red clay and yellow clay together. Each student in the class needs 1/8 pound of the clay mixture to finish the assigned art project for the class. How many students can get enough clay to finish the project?

Answer 1

Is the answer 18 students?

Answer 2

Yes.

By doing the math equation Ms. Sue provided, 18 is the answer to it.

So, 18 students is correct.

Answer 9

To figure out how many students can get enough clay to finish the project, we need to determine the total weight of the clay mixture and divide it by the weight needed per student.

First, let's find the total weight of the clay mixture by adding the weight of the red clay and yellow clay:
1 1/2 pounds + 3/4 pound

To add these fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 4, so we can rewrite the fractions with this denominator:
1 1/2 pounds = 3/2 pounds
3/4 pound = 3/4 pounds

Now let's add the fractions:
3/2 pounds + 3/4 pounds

To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 4, so we can rewrite the fractions as follows:
3/2 pounds = 6/4 pounds
3/4 pounds = 3/4 pounds

Now let's add the fractions:
6/4 pounds + 3/4 pounds = 9/4 pounds

So the total weight of the clay mixture is 9/4 pounds.

Next, let's find out how much clay each student needs:
1/8 pound

Now, we can divide the total weight of the clay mixture by the weight needed per student to find the number of students who can get enough clay to finish the project:
(9/4 pounds) / (1/8 pound)

Dividing fractions involves multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(9/4 pounds) * (8/1 pound)

So when we multiply the numerators and the denominators:
(9 * 8) / (4 * 1)
= 72/4

Now, let's simplify the fraction:
72/4 = 18

Therefore, 18 students can get enough clay to finish the project.
