Question

joanna split three pitchers of water equally among her eight plants.what fraction of a pitcher did each plant get

Answer 1

3/8 because you are splitting 3 pitchers over 8 plants

Answer 2

Answer:
`(3)/(8)`

Explanation:

Given : Joanna split three pitchers of water equally among her eight plants.

i.e. The total number of pitcher plants = 8

The number of pitcher plants split by Joanna = 3

Then , the fraction of a pitcher did each plant get is given by :-

`\frac{\text{No. of plants splits}}{\text{Total number of plants}}\\\\=(3)/(8)`

Hence, the fraction of a pitcher did each plant get =
`(3)/(8)`
