1. You have the following information:

 - Maria has 8 1/2 quarts of soil.
 - Each pot requires 3/4 quart of soil.

 2. Keeping this on mind, you can convert the mixed number 8 1/2 and the fracion 3/4 to decimals, as below: 

 8 1/2=8.5 quarts
 3/4=0.75 quarts

 3. Therefore, you have:

 1 pot0.75 quarts
       x8.5 quarts

 x=(8.5x1)/0.75
 x=11 pots

 For how many pots does Maria have enough soil?
