Question

Cassandra had 3/5 of a gallon of tea. Her brother said he wanted 1/4 of Cassandra's tea. How much does her brother want in gallons?

a) 1/5 gallon
b) 1/10 gallon
c) 2/5 gallon
d) 3/20 gallon

Answer 1

To find how much tea Cassandra's brother wants, multiply the amount of tea Cassandra has (3/5 gallon) by the fraction representing her brother's request (1/4). The answer is 3/20 gallon of tea.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much tea Cassandra's brother wants, we need to multiply the amount of tea Cassandra has by the fraction representing her brother's request. So, \dfrac{3}{5} \times \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{3}{20}

Therefore, Cassandra's brother wants \dfrac{3}{20} gallon of tea.
