Answer 2

10 big water bottles hold 20 gallons of water

Explanation:

Simplify the equation given. Divide 4 from both the numerator and denominator

(4 big water bottles/8 gallons of water) = (1 big water bottle/ 2 gallons of water)

Next, solve for 10 big water bottles. Multiply 10/10 to the fraction gotten previously

(1 big water bottle / 2 gallons of water) x (10/10) = (10 big water bottle / 20 gallons of water).

10 big water bottles / 20 gallons of water is your answer
