Lara is planting seedlings in small flower pots. She buys a bag of soil that costs $4.55 and contains 16.25 cups of soil. Each seedling requires 1 1/4 cups of soil. What is the cost of the soil for each seedling?

Answer 1

Answer: $0.35 per seedling

Explanation:

Then divide $4.55 by that amount for the answer.

16.25 / 1.25 = 13

$4.55 / 13 = $0.35
