Question

joanna split three pitchers of water equally among her eight plants.what fraction of a pitcher did each plant get

Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Joanna split three pitchers of water equally among her eight plants.

i.e. The total number of pitcher plants = 8

The number of pitcher plants split by Joanna = 3

Then , the fraction of a pitcher did each plant get is given by :-

$\dfrac{\text{No. of plants splits}}{\text{Total number of plants}}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{8}$

Hence, the fraction of a pitcher did each plant get = $\dfrac{3}{8}$
