Question

two students in nine blocks of clay equally how much clay does each student get

Answer 1

4.5 blocks of clay

Explanation:

If two students share 9 blocks of clay equally, let each amount of clay each get = y

2 students = 9 blocks clay

1 student = y

cross multiply:

2(y) = 1(9)

2y = 9

Divide both sides by 2:

2y/2 = 9/2

y = 4.5

Each students will get 4.5 blocks of clay
