Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Answer part a

He has 3.5 pounds of clay and each bowl is 0.5 pounds of clay.  Therefore, 3.5 / 0.5 will give us the amount of bowls he can make.  

3.5 / 0.5

7

Answer: He can make 7 bowls

Step 2:  Answer part b

I don't really understand what the questions asking about how much clay does he need to make with all of his clay.  If you explain what that means I can answer it.

If you meant how much mugs he is able to make → 14

If you meant how much clay he needs to have for each mug → 0.25

Answer & Explanation:

Part A

It gives us 2 numbers to determined how much bowls he can make.

He need 0.5 of clay to make 1 bowl and he has 3.5 pounds of clay.

[tex]3.5[/tex] ÷ [tex]0.5[/tex]

= [tex]7[/tex]

He can make 7 bowls out of the 3.5 pounds of clay that he has.

Part B

This question is very confusing...

He can make 1 mug with 0.25 pounds of clay.

[tex]3.5[/tex] ÷ [tex]0.25[/tex]

= [tex]14[/tex]

He can make 14 mugs if he uses all of his clay.
