Answer:

32 packets.

Explanation:

We are asked to find the number of quarter pound packets can be made out of 8 pounds of the plant food.

To solve our given problem, we will divide total amount of plant food by 1/4 as:

$\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=8/ (1)/(4)$

Convert to multiplication problem by flipping the 2nd fraction:

$\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=8* (4)/(1)$

$\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=8* 4$

$\text{Number of quarter pound packets}=32$

Therefore, 32 packets of quarter pound can be made out of 8 pounds of the plant food.
