a landscaper buys 1 gallon of plant fertilizer. he uses 1/5 of the fertilizer, and then divides the rest into 3 smaller bottles. how many gallons does he put into each bottle?
First, we find the remaining fraction of fertilizer after using 1/5. Using our fraction calculator, we see:
1 - 1/5 = 4/5
To find the amount of fertilizer per bottle, we then divide 4/5 by 3 and we get:
4/15 gallon per bottle
