Question

Jonathan's teacher has 21 fluid ounces of pond water to share equally with 10 pairs of students. How much pond water will Jonathan and his science partner receive?

Answer 1

Jonathan and his science partner will receive 1.05 fluid ounces of pond water.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much pond water Jonathan and his science partner will receive, you need to divide the total amount of pond water by the number of pairs of students. The teacher has 21 fluid ounces of pond water and there are 10 pairs of students, which is a total of 20 students. So, you divide 21 by 20 to get the amount each pair of students will receive. The quotient is 1.05 fluid ounces, which is the amount of pond water that Jonathan and his science partner will receive.
