Question

Kelsi’s mom has several containers of fruit juice that total 3 whole gallons with a fractional part of a gallon remaining. Which sets of juice containers could Kelsi’s mom have? Check all that apply.

10 containers that each have One-third of a gallon of juice

12 containers that each have One-fifth of a gallon of juice

19 containers that each have One-sixth of a gallon of juice

22 containers that each have One-seventh of a gallon of juice

29 containers that each have One-eighth of a gallon of juice

Answer 1

10 containers with 1/3 of a gallon
19 containers with 1/6 of a gallon
22 containers with 1/7 of a gallon
29 containers with 1/8 of a gallon

10 x 1/3 = 10/3 which as a mixed number would be 3 and 1/3
19 x 1/6 = 19/6 which as a mixed number is 3 and 1/6
22 x 1/7 = 22/7 which as a mixed number is 3 and 1/7
29 x 1/8 = 29/8 which as a mixed number is 3 and 5/8


12 containers with 1/5 of a gallon would not work because 12 x 1/5 = 12/5 which as a mixed number is only 2 and 2/5
