A student 1/3 of clay and a other student has 5/8 of clay what do you do if you have to divide it

So basically this qestion is asking you to add 1/3 and 5/8 together and divide the result by 2 so first get the denomenator (bottom number) the same

1/3=8/24

5/8=15/24

8/24+15/24=23/24

divide this by 2 and get

23/48 of clay
