Payton should use
of bags in each pot
Solution:
Given that, Payton has 4 bags of potting soil
She has to put the same fraction in each of her 5 pots
To find: Fraction that should be used by Payton
From given question,
Total number of bags = 4
Number of pots = 5
To find, fraction of bag she should put in 1 pot, we have to divide the total number of bags by number of pots
fraction of bag she should put in 1 pot = Total no. of bags
no. of pots
![\text{ fraction} = \frac{\text{ total number of bags }}{ \text{ number of pots }}](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/oqeharz8j7i4fj9gztb5u5f083jyrbs8jl.png)
![\text{ fraction } = (4)/(5)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/2k32rpciwptunk6oafe50nz44gvo8q7jjq.png)
Thus payton should use
