Answer 2

She will put 1/3(a third) of cubic feet in each of the pots

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the amount in cubic feet that should be put equally in 3 different pots given a total of cubic feets available.

Now, we know that the total amount of cubic feet available is 1 and we have 3 different pots. Also, she is to put equally the same amount in cubic feet inside each of the pots. To get the amount , what we simply do is to divide the total by the number of pots.

Mathematically, this would be 1/3 and that is 1/3 cubic feet per pot.
