Manuel bought a 3/5 of a pound of clay for the students in his pottery class. He then divided the clay into 6 equal pieces for his students to use for making vases and pots. How much did each piece weigh? Group of answer choices

Each piece weighed 1/10 of a pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3/5 of a pound and we want to divide it by 6 equal pieces for each student. 6 equal pieces is the same as 6/1.

In order to divide 3/5 by 6/1 we need to invert the 6/1 and multiply. So, it becomes 3/5 x 1/6. First, we multiply the numerators: 3x1=3 then we multiply the denominators: 5x6=30. The result is 3/30, which can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3. 3/3=1 and 30/3=10. So, the result is 1/10.
