Question

Connor is feeling a 15 gallon waiting pool on his first trip he carried three and 1/12

gallons of water he carried three and 5/6 gallons of on his second trip and 3 1/2 gallons on his third trip suppose he carries 5 gallons on his next trip will the pool be filled explain

Answer 1

No, the pool wouldn't be filled because if you add
(1/12 x 3) + (5/6 x 3) + 5 it doesn't equal 15.
1/4 + (5/6 x 3) +5
1/4 + 10/4 + 5
11/4 + 5
5 11/4
7 3/4≠15
