Question

Brianna has six bags of soyou filling one flowerPOT Require one third of the bag of soil how many flower pots can be filled with these six bags

Answer 1

To determine how many flower pots Brianna can fill with the six bags of soil, we first need to calculate the total amount of soil she has and how much soil is needed for each flower pot.

1. **Total Bags of Soil**: Brianna has 6 bags of soil.

2. **Amount of Soil Needed per Flower Pot**: Each flower pot requires one third (1/3) of a bag of soil.

Now we can calculate the total amount of soil Brianna has in terms of bags, which is simply 6 bags.

Next, we can find out how many flower pots can be filled by dividing the total amount of soil by the amount needed for each pot:

\[
\text{Number of flower pots} = \frac{\text{Total bags of soil}}{\text{Soil needed per flower pot}} = \frac{6 \text{ bags}}{1/3 \text{ bag per pot}}
\]

To divide by a fraction, you can multiply by its reciprocal:

\[
= 6 \times 3 = 18
\]

Thus, Brianna can fill **18 flower pots** with the 6 bags of soil.
