darren has 3/4 of a gallon of soil.he needs to plant 5 small plants.if he splits the soil evenly between the plants.how much soil will each plant get?

Respuesta :

1.2 pounds is the answer i used pounds b/c it was faster for me 

Number of plants = 5

Amount of soil present for 5 plants = 3/4 gallons

Now here we have to find how much soil will each plant get.

So we have to apply unitary method here to find how much would each plant get the share of soil.

Soil required by 5 plants = 3/4 gallons

Soil required by 1 plant = 3/4 divided by 5 = 3/20 gallons

Answer: Each plant will get 3/20 gallons of soil.
