Answer:
2 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to see how much clay they used if each person in that group used 3/4 clay. There are 4 people in the group.
=> 3/4 x 4 = 12/4 = 3
Now, we need to see how much clay they used if each person in that group used 1/4 clay. There are 3 people in the group
=> 1/4 x 3 = 3/4
Now, we need to see how much more clay was used.
=>3 - 3/4
=> 3/1 - 3/4
=> Take the LCM of the denominators and make the denominators equal.
=> 12/4 - 3/4
=> 9/4
They used 9/4 more clay.
Since there are no options with 9/4, we need to make this improper fraction into a proper fraction.
=> 9/4 = 2 1/4
They used 2 1/4 more clay.
