Given:
17 quarts of soil are used to completely fill 4 flower pots.
To find:
The number of quarts hold by each pot if each pot holds the same amount of soil.
Solution:
Let [tex]x[/tex] be the number of quarts hold by each pot.
Total number of quarts hold by 4 flower pots = [tex]4x[/tex]
It is given that, 17 quarts of soil are used to completely fill 4 flower pots.
[tex]4x=17[/tex]
[tex]x=\dfrac{17}{4}[/tex]
[tex]x=4.25[/tex]
Therefore, the each pot holds 4.25 quarts of soil.
