Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

Answer: 26.11.

So if you have 78.33 gallons for EACH children's pool (there are 3 children's pools) , the equation we need to write is:

78.33 divided by 3.

78.33 divide by 3 = 26.11.

If each children pool holds the same amount of water, there are 26.11 gallons of water in ONE children pool.

To check your answer you can write these equations:

26.11 times 3.

26.11 + 26.11 + 26.11.
