Answer:

The first, second, and fourth questions.

Explanation:

None of these result in an answer of 23, so I'm assuming that you meant 2/3.

"Two gallons of water are needed to fill 3 fish tanks of equal size. How many gallons of water are required for each tank?"

2 gallons divided between 3 tanks is 2 divided by 3, so 2/3.

"Three cats share 2 cans of tuna. How much of a can does each cat receive?"

2 cans divided between 3 cats - it's the same as the above problem, just with cats and tuna cans instead of tanks and gallons of water. Each cat gets 2/3 of a can.

"Two bags of bird seed are split among 5 parrots. What fraction of a bag does each parrot receive?"

2 bags divided between 5 parrots would be 2/5 of a bag for each parrot.

"Two apples are split among 3 people. How much of an apple does each person receive?"

Two apples split among 3 people - like the first 2 questions, this also equals 2/3.

"Three dogs each drink 2 cups of water. How many cups of water do the dogs drink in all?"

Three dogs EACH drink 2 cups of water means that the answer is 2*3=6 cups.

"Three cupcakes are divided among 2 children. How much of a cupcake does each child receive?"

Three cupcakes are split between 2 children - they will each get 3/2 of a cupcake, or 1 1/2.
