Answer:
She can fill 19 pots.
Step-by-step explanation:
Yao Xin puts [tex]\frac{3}{10}[/tex] liters of potting soil in each pot.
Suppose, the number of pots Yao Xin can fill is [tex]x[/tex]
So, the total amount of potting soil in [tex]x[/tex] number of pots will be: [tex]\frac{3}{10}x[/tex] liters.
Given that, she has [tex]5\frac{2}{3} or \frac{17}{3}[/tex] liters of potting soil. So, the equation will be........
[tex]\frac{3}{10}x= \frac{17}{3} \\ \\ x=\frac{17}{3}* \frac{10}{3}= \frac{170}{9}=18\frac{8}{9}[/tex]
So, she can fill pots.
