Question

How would the number of times edgardo uses a container to fill the 10 gallon cooler change if he uses a one cup container? Explain

Answer 1

Edgardo would use the container 160 times to fill.

Explanation:

Given:

Edgardo uses a container to fill the 10 gallon cooler.

If he uses a one cup container.

Now, to find the times it would take to fill the 10 gallon container.

As, the capacity of container = 1 cup.

And, the capacity of cooler = 10 gallon.

So, we use conversion factor to find the times the container to fill the cooler:

1 gallon = 16 cups.

10 gallon =
`10* 16\ cups.`

10 gallon = 160 cups.

Thus, to fill the 10 gallon cooler 160 cups of container needed.

And, the container is of 1 cup.

So, to get the times he would use the container we divide 160 by 1:

`160/ 1=160.`

Hence, 160 times Edgardo would use the 1 cup container to fill the 10 gallon cooler.

Therefore, Edgardo would use the container 160 times to fill.
