Question

The fish tanks at the Grant Pet Store each hold the same amount of water. Rose used 9 3/5 pitchers of water to fill 6 tanks. How many pitchers of water did she pour into each tank?

Answer 1

The number of pitchers required to 1 tank is 8/5.

Explanation:

Number of tanks filed by 9 3/5 pitchers = 6

So,

6 tanks are filled 48/5 pitchers

1 tank is filled by

`(48)/(5* 6)\\\\= (8)/(5)`

So, the number of pitchers required to 1 tank is 8/5.
