Question

Erin loves to cook with fresh herbs. So, she decides to plant 8 different herbs and keep the
small pots on her kitchen windowsill. She starts with a 2-kilogram bag of soil and puts the
same amount of soil in each pot. If she uses all of the soil, how many grams does she add to
each pot?

Answer 1

This is a simple division problem, there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram, so we do 2000/8, which is 250, so Erin put 250 grams of soil in each pot.
