Paj is filling a 9-cubic-inch flower pot with soil from small bags. Each bag of soil contains 2 2/3 cubic inches of soil. Exactly how many bags of soil are needed for Paj to fill the flower pot?

Paj needs 3.375 bags of soil to fill the bag.

Each bag contains 2²/₃ inch³ of soil and they need to fill up a 9 inch³ pot of soil.

First convert the mixed fraction to an improper one:

2²/₃ = 8/3

The number of bags needed is:

= Volume of pot / Quantity of soil in each bag

= 9 ÷ 8/3

= 9 x 3/8

= 3.375 bags of soil

Paj therefore needs 3.375 bags of soil to fill the pot
