Jason will use a 3 1/3 gallon pitcher to fill an empty 3/4 gallon water jug. How much water will he need in order to completely fill the water jug?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option B) Between 2 & 3 full pitchers

Step-by-step explanation:

Note  In this problem the volume of the pitcher is 1/3 gallon instead of 3 1/3 gallon

The options of the questions are

A) Between 1 & 2 full pitchers

B) Between 2 & 3 full pitchers

C) About 1/2 of a full pitcher

D) About 1/4 of a full pitcher

so

we know that

To find the number of water pitchers Jason will need to fill the water jug, we will divide the amount of water needed to fill the jug by amount of water in the pitcher

[tex](3/4)/(1/3)=9/4\ water\ pitchers[/tex]

Convert to mixed number

[tex]9/4\ water\ pitchers=(8/4)+(1/4)=2(1/4)\ water\ pitchers[/tex]

therefore

Is Between 2 & 3 full pitchers
