Question

alicia and her friends Brittany, Kenji and Ellis are taking a pottery class. The four friends have to share 3 blocks of clay. How much clay will each of them receive if they divide the 3 blocks evenly?

Answer 1

You need to divide the 3 blocks of clay by the 4 friends. 3 goes in the dividend and the 4 is outside. 3 divided by 4 is equal to 0.75 or 3/4, so each friend gets 0.75 or 3/4 clay
