Question

Scott and Nikki each have a full 1.5-gallon container of liquid laundry detergent. The lid on Scott’s container can hold 3 fluid ounces of detergent, while the lid on Nikki’s container can hold 4 fluid ounces of detergent. How many more lids full of detergent does Scott have than Nikki?

Answer 1

Answer:64-48 = 16

Explanation:

64-48 = 16

Answer 2

there is 128 fluid ounces per gallon so 1.5 gallons = 1.5 x 128 = 192 fluid ounces

Scotts cap holds 3 ounces so 192/3 = 64

Nikkis cap holds 4 ounces so 192/4 = 48

64-48 = 16 more caps for Scott
