Question

Yao Xin puts \dfrac{3}{10} 10 3 ? start fraction, 3, divided by, 10, end fraction liters of potting soil in each pot for planting flowers. She has 5\dfrac{2}{3}5 3 2 ? 5, start fraction, 2, divided by, 3, end fraction liters of potting soil. How many pots can Yao Xin fill?

Answer 1

Answer:

She can fill 19 pots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yao Xin puts $\frac{3}{10}$ liters of potting soil in each pot.

Suppose, the number of pots Yao Xin can fill is $x$

So, the total amount of potting soil in $x$ number of pots will be:  $\frac{3}{10}x$ liters.

Given that, she has $5\frac{2}{3} or \frac{17}{3}$ liters of potting soil. So, the equation will be........

$\frac{3}{10}x= \frac{17}{3} \\ \\ x=\frac{17}{3}* \frac{10}{3}= \frac{170}{9}=18\frac{8}{9}$

So, she can fill  pots.
