Answer:

3/8 pounds of compost

Explanation:

Find how much compost she'll put in each garden bed by dividing the number of pounds of compost by the number of garden beds:

3/8

This fraction cannot be simplified further, so the answer is 3/8.

She will put 3/8 pounds of compost into each garden bed
