Question

London has 1/3 of a rectangular block of sculpting clay. She wants to split it equally among 3 people. Which model shows how much of the original block of clay each person will get?

Answer 1

1/9

Explanation:

Given that:

Original block of clay = 1/3

Number of divisions = 3

The amount of original block of clay gotten by each :

Original block of clay ÷ number of divisions

1/3 ÷ 3

1/3 * 1/3

= 1/9

Hence, each person will get 1/9 of the original block of clay.
