1/2, 1, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2

Answer 1

Option d, 2 cups.

Explanation:

Tina has the number of cups of water = 13

She has to divide evenly among the number of plants = 7

The number of cups of water that each plant will get

=
`(13)/(7)` cups

=
`1(6)/(7)` cups

= 1.857 ≈ 1.9 cups

among the given 4 option, best approximates the number of cups would be 2 cups.

Option d, 2 cups.
