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 clay mixture to finish the assigned art project for the class.How many students can get enough clay to finish the project
Well, seeing as how she mixed the clay, she has a total of 2 2/8 pounds clay (unsimplified). Although we don't know how many students she has in one class, with simple division of this number we can figure out how many student can finish the project. Removing the 2/8, we can already tell 2 students can do it, so that's a start. Now to divide the 2 pounds into 8ths. Each pound is enough for 8 students, so the 2 pounds totals to 16. Now add the extra 2 students, it's 18 total students. Hope I explained it well enough!
A is the closest I got. My answer was 32.665 using thousandth place. I found the perimeter by adding up the lengths. I found all of the lengths by using pathat oran theorem.
So far, this is shaping up to be a very interesting and engaging exercise. Now, what do you want done with the model ? To put it in other words, what is the question ? ? (Other than the fact that no real flight can fit this model.)
