Answer:

1 pound of potting soil has
(3)/(4) cups of water.

Explanation:

Each
(1)/(4) pound of potting soil contains
(3)/(16) cups of water.

So, 1 pound of potting soil will contain
((3)/(16))/((1)/(4))

=
(3)/(16)*(4)/(1)

=
(3)/(4) cups of water.

there are 4 quarters to a pound

so 3/16 x 4 = 12/16 = 3/4 cups of water
