A pack of soil weighs 43 lbs. Each plant pot requires just 12 lbs of soil.
Calculate how many plant pots can be filled.


Sagot :

3 pots

If we divide 43 lbs into pots of 12 lbs, we end up getting 3 pots with a remainder (what is left) of 7 lbs. However, in a scenario such as this, we discard (ignore, get rid of) the remainder since it is not enough to completely fill a plant pot.
3 pots, there is a remainder so you discard it and only fill 2.
