Question

A gardner uses 1 cubic foot of potting soil to fill 8pots. This is a rate of ___ cubic foot of soil perpot.

Answer 1

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the rate of a cubic foot of soil per pot, we need to divide the numbers of the cubic foot by the number of pots, so:

`\text{Rate}=\frac{1\text{ Cubic Foot}}{8\text{ pots}}=(1)/(8)\text{ cubic foot per pot}`

So, the rate is 1/8 cub foot of soil per pot.
