Answer:
There are 2.22 grams of clay are in each pot.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Dakota has 4/10 kg of clay. He divides the clay to make 888 equal-sized pots.
Now, to find the number of grams of clay are in each pot.
Dakota has clay = [tex]\frac{4}{10} \ kg.[/tex]
So, by using conversion factor we convert it into grams:
[tex]\frac{4}{10} \times 1000\\\\=\frac{4000}{10} \\\\=400\ grams.[/tex]
Quantity of clay he has = 400 grams.
Number of equal-sized pots to make = 888.
Now, to get the quantity of grams of clay are in each pot we divide number of equal-sized pots to make by quantity of clay he has:
[tex]\frac{888}{400}[/tex]
[tex]=2.22\ grams.[/tex]
Therefore, there are 2.22 grams of clay are in each pot.
