Question

if a pitcher hold 7/8 gallon of water and tys glass folded 1/4 gallon of water how many glasses can ty fill up from the pitcher?

Answer 1

To find out how many 1/4 gallon glasses can be filled from a 7/8 gallon pitcher, divide the two quantities to get 3.5. Ty can completely fill 3 full glasses from the pitcher, with half a glass left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many glasses can be filled from the pitcher, we need to divide the total volume of the pitcher by the volume of one glass. Since the pitcher holds 7/8 gallon of water and each glass holds 1/4 gallon, we perform the division as follows:

Number of glasses = Volume of the pitcher / Volume of one glass

Number of glasses = (7/8) / (1/4)

To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Therefore:

Number of glasses = (7/8) × (4/1) = 28/8

Number of glasses = 3.5, which means Ty can fill up 3 full glasses, and the pitcher will still have half a glass worth of water left.
