Question

Your mother bought a three-liter bottle of water. When she got home, she discovered a small leak in the bottom and asked you to find a container to transfer the water into. All you could find were two half-gallon jugs.Will all the containers hold all of the water.

Answer 1

Answer: YES

Explanation:

Convert liters to gallons. Need to show 2 half gallons ≥ 3 liters

`\frac{3(liters)}{} * (1(gallon))/(3.785(liters)) = 0.7926 gallons`

`2*(1)/(2) gallons = 1 gallon`

2 half gallons ≥ 3 liters

1 gallon ≥ 0.7926 gallons

TRUE
