Verified Answer :

Answer: \(\dfrac{3}{8}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Joanna split three pitchers of water equally among her eight plants.

i.e. The total number of pitcher plants = 8

The number of pitcher plants split by Joanna = 3

Then , the fraction of a pitcher did each plant get is given by :-

\(\dfrac{\text{No. of plants splits}}{\text{Total number of plants}}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{8}\)

Hence, the fraction of a pitcher did each plant get = \(\dfrac{3}{8}\)

Answer:

3/8 because you are splitting 3 pitchers over 8 plants
