For this case defining variables we have:
x: total amount of liters of potting soil.
y: number of liters of potting soil in each pot.
We have then to find the number of pots we use the following expression:
[tex] N = \frac{x}{y} [/tex]
Substituting values we have:
[tex] N = \frac{\frac{17}{3}}{\frac{3}{10}} [/tex]
Rewriting we have:
[tex] N = \frac{170}{9} [/tex]
[tex] N = 18.8 [/tex]
Rounding to the previous whole we have:
[tex] N = 18 [/tex]
Answer:
