Question

Paj is filling a 9-cubic-inch flower pot with soil from small bags. Each bag of soil contains 2 2/3 cubic inches of soil. Exactly how many bags of soil are needed for Paj to fill the flower pot?

Answer 1

Exactly 3 3/8 bags of soil are needed for Pan to fill the flower pot

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are concerned with calculating the number of bag of soils with a given volume each needed to fill a flower pot with soil.

What we simply need to do here is to divide the volume of the flower pot with the volume of the individual bag of soils;

Mathematically, that would be;

9 divided by 2 2/3

= 9 divided by 8/3

= 9 * 3/8 = 27/8 = 3 3/8 bag of soils
