Question

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 127 pots

b. 2,943 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of pots of soil can be filled, you can use the equation given. s = 3456 in part a

a.

s = 27p

3456 = 27p

divide 3456 by 27 to isolate p

p = 127 pots

Instead of substituting for s like in part a, you can now substitute for p, since you know that you need to fill 109 pots.

b.

s = 27 * 109

s = 2943 cubic inches
