Answer 2

Number of plants = 5

Amount of soil present for 5 plants = 3/4 gallons

So we have to apply unitary method here to find how much would each plant get the share of soil.

Soil required by 5 plants = 3/4 gallons

Soil required by 1 plant = 3/4 divided by 5 = 3/20 gallons

Answer: Each plant will get 3/20 gallons of soil.
