If mrs. hamm divides 7 pounds of potting soil equally into three flower pots, what is the weight of potting soil in one flower pot?

The weight of potting soil in one flower pot = 2.33 pounds (to 2 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

If Mrs Hamm, divides 7 pounds of potting soil equally into three flower pots, it means that if the total available weight of potting soils were divided into three parts equally, each flower pot took a part, and this is calculated as shown below:

Total weight to be divided = 7 pounds

number of flower pots = 3

∴ weight of soil in each pot = (Total weight to be divided) : (number of flower pots)

∴ weight of soil in each pot = 7 : 3 = 2.33 pounds (to 2 decimal places)
