Question

Will a 24-gallon tank hold 200 pints of water? Explain.​

Answer 1

Answer: No

Explanation:

Warning: I used the US measurements and not the UK measurements

1 gallon = 8 pints

24 x 8 = 192 pints

192 ≠ 200

Answer 2

Answer: the answer is no.

Step-by-step explanation: There are 8 pints in one gallon. We can use the proportion 1 gal/8 pints = 24 gallons/x pints

We cross multiply and divide to find out that 24 gallons hold 192 pints.
192<200. therefore, 200 pints can’t fit in a 24 gallon tank.
