He used 1/4 of the nails
1/2-1/4 = 2/4-1/4 = 1/4

Answer : The amount of nails he used is, [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] Pounds

Step-by-step explanation :

Given:

Total amount of nails bought for a project = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] Pounds

Amount of nails left after finishing a project = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] Pounds

Now we have to determine the amount of nails did he use.

Amount of nails he used = Total amount of nails bought for a project - Amount of nails left after finishing a project

Amount of nails he used = [tex]\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}[/tex] Pounds

Amount of nails he used = [tex]\frac{2-1}{4}[/tex] Pounds

Amount of nails he used = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] Pounds

Thus, the amount of nails he used is, [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] Pounds
