Terence uses 1/3 pound of clay to make 5 ornaments. He uses the same amount of clay for each ornament. How much clay does Terence use for each ornament?
Divide and shade the model to show how much clay Terence uses for each ornament.

Answer

To find out how much clay Terence uses for each ornament, divide 1/3 by 5.

Calculation: \( \frac{1}{3} \div 5 = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{15} \)

Terence uses 1/15 pound of clay for each ornament.

To divide and shade the model, divide the section from 0 to 1/3 into 5 equal parts, and shade one of those parts to represent 1/15.
