Answer:
The weight of potting soil in one flower pot = 2.33 pounds ( to 2 decimal places)
Step-by-step explanation:
If Mrs Hamm, divides 7 pounds of potting soil equally into three flower pots, it means that if the total available weight of potting soils were divided into three parts equally, each flower pot took a part, and this is calculated as shown below:
Total weight to be divided = 7 pounds
number of flower pots = 3
∴ weight of soil in each pot = (Total weight to be divided) ÷ (number of flower pots)
∴ weight of soil in each pot = 7 ÷ 3 = 2.33 pounds ( to 2 decimal places)
