Given:

17 quarts of soil are used to completely fill 4 flower pots.

To find:

The number of quarts hold by each pot if each pot holds the same amount of soil.

Solution:

Let [tex]x[/tex] be the number of quarts hold by each pot.

Total number of quarts hold by 4 flower pots = [tex]4x[/tex]

It is given that, 17 quarts of soil are used to completely fill 4 flower pots.

[tex]4x=17[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{17}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=4.25[/tex]

Therefore, the each pot holds 4.25 quarts of soil.
