Question

The Burgesses use about 2 gallons of drinking water per day. If each water jug holds 5 gallons , how many jugs of water do they need for a month with 30 days?

Answer 1

Answer: 12 jugs of water.

Explanation:

Let’s first see how many gallons are needed in 30 days.

2 gallons= 1 day

60 gallons= 30 days

60 gallons are needed in one month with 30 days, and 60 divided by 5 is 12. Which means 12 jugs of water is needed.
