joanna split three pitchers of water equally among her eight plants.what fraction of a pitcher did each plant get
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 = \(\dfrac{3}{8}\)
