Question

The student council is hosting a spring carnival. Mr red is working the fish bowl toss. He used 13.6 gallons of water to fill 40 fish bowls. If he puts an equal amount of water in each one, how many gallons of water are in each bowl?

Answer 1

0.34 gallons per bowl.

Explanation:

It is given that Mr. red used 13.6 gallons of water to fill 40 fish bowls.

Total water = 13.6 gallons

Number of bowls = 40

We need to find the amount of water in each bowl if he puts an equal amount of water in each one.

Amount of water in each bowl =
`\frac{\text{Total water}}{\text{Number of bowls}}`

=
`(13.6)/(40)`

=
`0.34`

Therefore, each bowl contains 0.34 gallons.
