Answer 1

Answer:

Margo gives 2 clay to Tim Lila Gives 1 to time so that everyone will have 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Amount of clay that margo has 15 pound

Amount of clay that Tim has 10 pound

Amount of clay that Tray has 13 pound

Amount of clay that Lila has 14 pound

Amount of clay that jerry has 13 pound

Total number of clay that everyone has 65 clay

Total no of student is 5

so we hvae 65/5 = 13 no of clay distributed to everyone.

Margo should give away 2 pounds clay to Tim to make it twelve and  then Lila should give one pound clay to Tim to make it 13. This way  everyone has 13 pound of clay.

Margo gives 2 clay to Tim Lila Gives 1 to time so that everyone will have 13
