Answer:
[tex]5\frac{1}{3}[/tex] cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been that Katie is planting a garden for her science fair project . She needs 2/3 of a cup of soil to go in 8 different pots.
To find the amount of total soil needed, we will multiply amount needed for one pot by number of total pots.
[tex]\text{Amount of total soil needed}=\frac{2}{3}\times 8[/tex]
[tex]\text{Amount of total soil needed}=\frac{2\times 8}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Amount of total soil needed}=\frac{16}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Amount of total soil needed}=5\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, Katie needs [tex]5\frac{1}{3}[/tex] cups of soil.
