Answer 1

To find out how much water Aiden pours into each container, you divide the total amount of water by the number of containers:

\[ \text{Water per container} = \frac{\text{Total water}}{\text{Number of containers}} = \frac{72 \text{ cups}}{8} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ \frac{72}{8} = 9 \text{ cups} \]

So, Aiden pours 9 cups of water into each container.
