Question

Yao Xin puts 3/10 liters of potting soil in each pot for planting flowers. She has 5 2/3 liters of potting soil. How many pots can Yao Xin fill?

Answer 1

Answer: Yao Xin can fill 18 pots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The quantity of potting soil Yao Xin puts in each pot $\frac{3}{10}$ liters

Total quantity of potting soil she has = $5\frac{2}{3}\ liters=\frac{17}{3}$ liters.

The number of pots Yao Xin fill

$=\frac{\text{total quantity of potting soil}}{\text{quantity of potting soil in each pot}}\\=\frac{\frac{17}{3}}{\frac{3}{10}}=\frac{170}{9}=18.88\approx18.....[\text{at most natural number}]$

Hence, Yao Xin can fill 18 pots.
