Answer:

16 pots

Explanation:

We first need to find out the amount of dirt that can be filled into a single flowerpot.

We use the formula to find the cylinder's volume.

π
r^(2)
* h

Height is equal to ten, Radius is equal to 7.

49π
* 10

≈ 1539.38

25,000 divided by 1539.38

≈ 16.24

He can fill 16 pots fully.
