Answer:

12 times

Explanation:

Given that :

Amount of potting soil in bag = 9 cups

Size of scooping cup = 3/4 cup

The number of times scooping will be done to use entire bag of potting soil will be ;

(Amount of potting soil in bag ÷ size of scooping cup)

(9 ÷ 3/4)

9/ 1 * 4/3

= 36/3

= 12 times

Hence, scooping will have to be done 12 times in other to use entire bag if potting soil.
