4 answers

A and B are right.

She only has enough plant food for 4 pots.
i respectly disagree with the answer of part a it supposed to be 12 because if you divide any of the the numbers 8 1/4 and 3/4 in any order you will get 12
i don't understand how you guys got 4 1/2 and 4 for part B
Part A: 8 1/4 divided by 3/4 8 1/4= 33/4
33/4 x 4/3 KCF: Keep Change Flip
11 pots

Part B: 1 1/2 divided by 1/3 1 1/2= 3/2
3/2 x 3/1
4 1/2

Part C: Maria will only fill 15 pots completely because 11+ 4= 15 and you don't use the 1/2 of the pot you need in part B because it is not being filled in completely.
