0.25 lbs

You can translate the 1/2 a pound into 0.5lbs, which is equivalent. Then, this is the easier part. Sarah divides the clay into two equal pieces. This is asking you to halve 0.5lbs. The answer being 0.25lbs

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
