Jonathan bought 2/3 of a kilogram of clay for the students in his pottery class. He then divided the clay evenly into pieces that were 1/6 of a kilogram. Into how many pieces did Jonathan divide the clay?
Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
To find out how many pieces Jonathan divided the clay into, we need to divide the total amount of clay (2/3 of a kilogram) by the weight of each piece (1/6 of a kilogram).
(2/3) รท (1/6)
= (2/3) x (6/1)
= 12/3
= 4
Jonathan divided the clay into 4 pieces.
