Question

Albert loves to cook with fresh herbs. So, he decides to plant 8 different herbs and keep the small pots on his kitchen windowsill. He starts with a 4-pound bag of soil and puts the same amount of soil in each pot. If he uses all of the soil, how many ounces does he add to each pot?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Albert is planting 8 different herbs, so we can assume he is using 8 pots. Start by converting pounds to ounces:

1 lb = 16 oz

4 lbs = 64 oz

Now we divide 64 oz into 8 pots:

64/8 = 8 (because 8^2 = 64)

Albert puts 8 oz of soil in each pot.

Hope this helps!
