Question:
Davis wants to pour 5 gallons of punch into ½ gallon jugs How many jugs will he need?
A. 2½
B. 5½
C. 10
D. 15
Answer:
Number of jugs = 10
Davis will need 10 jugs to pour 5 gallons of punch into ½ gallon jugs.
Step-by-step explanation:
David has 5 gallons of punch that he wants to pour into jugs.
The capacity of 1 jug is ½ gallon.
The required number of jugs may be found as
Number of jugs = gallons of punch/capacity of jug
For the given case, we have
Gallons of punch = 5
capacity of jug (in gallons) = ½ = 0.5
So, the required number of jugs is,
Number of jugs = 5/½
Number of jugs = 5/0.5
Number of jugs = 10
Therefore, Davis will need 10 jugs to pour 5 gallons of punch into ½ gallon jugs.
