The question asks how many bowls Kai can make if each bowl uses \( \frac{4}{5} \) pounds of clay, and Kai has \( 2 \frac{2}{5} \) pounds of clay in total.

### Solution:
1. First, we convert \( 2 \frac{2}{5} \) to an improper fraction:
   \[
   2 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{12}{5}
   \]
   So, Kai has \( \frac{12}{5} \) pounds of clay.

2. To determine how many bowls Kai can make, we divide the total amount of clay by the amount required for each bowl:
   \[
   \text{Number of bowls} = \frac{\frac{12}{5}}{\frac{4}{5}} = \frac{12}{5} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{12 \times 5}{5 \times 4} = \frac{60}{20} = 3
   \]

Thus, Kai can make **3 bowls**.
