Answer 1

A.=False

B.=True

C.=False

D.=True

Explanation:

The original ration is 2 gallons of water for 4 players.

Each player requires 1/2 gallon of water.

To get the amount of water needed multiply 1/2 by the amount of players.

1*(1/2) does not equal 1

2*(1/2) equals 1

10*(1/2) does not equal 4

30*(1/2) equals 15
