An art teacher has 9 students in a pottery class. He has 21.06 pounds of clay that he divides evenly among all the students. Each student will divide his or her clay into 3 equal amounts to make 3 different sculptures. How much clay will be used for each sculpture?

0.78 because 21.06 divided by 9 is 2.34 and divide by three because you have to make three sculptures so you get 0.78 :)

Each student receives about 2.34 pounds of clay, which they divide into three sculptures. Therefore, each sculpture will use approximately 0.78 pounds of clay. This calculation is based on evenly distributing the total clay among the students and then dividing it for the sculptures.
