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

Step

Find the sum of red clay and yellow clay

we know that

so

Step

Divide the total pound of clay mixture by

so

therefore

the answer is

The total of students is

he used the algebra tiles correctly.

step-by-step explanation:

given : 3x(2x-1)

solution :

since he used algebra tiles .

armando's solution is the same in the solution shown in figure

as he distributed 2x into x and x and wrote them vertically

and also write   -1 vertically

and 3x into x and x and x and wrote it horizontally

performing the multiplication in the algebra tiles we get

and solving the given expression :

3x(2x-1)

since solving the expression using tiles   and solving the expression algebraically we get the same answer

thus   we can choose the first statement as the answer to this problem which is "he used the algebra tiles correctly".
