Question

Hi! Sorry to bother you, but I need help!

Lynn has a watering can that holds 32 cups of water, and she fills it half full. Then, she waters her 17 plants so that each plant gets the same amount of water. How many cups of water will each plant get?


Thank you! ❤️⚽️

Answer 1

0.94 cups

Explanation:

To solve you must first understand how many cups Lynn starts out with. The question states that she fills the water can, which holds 32 cups, halfway. This means that there are 16 cups of water in the can. Then, she distributes the water to 17 plants. Therefore, divide 16 by 17 to get the final answer, 0.94 cups per plant.
