Question

Hayden had 212 gallons of water in his watering can. The seed packet said to use 14 of a gallon for peppers and 58 of a gallon for tomatoes. Hayden then used some of the water for lettuce. If Hayden had 34 gallons of water left over, about how much water did he use for lettuce?

Answer 1

Hayden used 106 gallons for his tomatoes.

Explanation:

212-14-58= 140 (what we know he used)

140-34= 106 (By subtracting what we will have left over, it tells us how much we would have to use to get there.
