Question

Oscar bought 15 gallons of water at $1.98 per gallon. He wants to divide this water in bottles of 1/8 gallon each. What is the cost of a bottle of water?

Answer 1

$0.25

Explanation:

From the above question:

1 bottle = 1/8 gallon

Hence

1 gallon of water = $1.98

1/8 gallon of water = x

Cross Multiply

x = 1/8 × $1.98

x = $0.2475

Approximately ≈ $0.25

Therefore, the cost of a bottle of water = $0.25
