Dirk plants 8 diff herbs and keep the small pot in his kitchen he starts with a 4 lb. bag of soil and puts the same amount in each pot. if he uses all the soil how many oz does he add to each pot​

step 1

Divide 4 lb by 8

so

4/8=1/2 lb in each pot

Remember that

1 lb=16 oz

1/2 lb=8 oz

therefore

answer is 8 ounces
