Amy is making sand art. She puts [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cup each of 16 different colors of sand in a bottle. How much sand, in cups, does she use?

Answer :

Amy uses a total of 8 cups of sand for her sand art project by multiplying 1/2 cup of sand per color by 16 colors.

To find the total amount of sand used, we have to multiply the amount of sand in one color (1/2 cup) by the number of different colors (16).

Step-by-step calculation:
1/2 cup of sand/color × 16 colors = 8/2 cups = 8 cups of sand.

Therefore, Amy uses a total of 8 cups of sand for her sand art project.
