Answer:

The two half-gallon jugs will hold all of the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gallon and the liter are two units of volume. Let's write the equivalent expression between them :

1gal=3.78541L

To solve this problem, we need to find out which volume is greater : The volume of the three-liter bottle or the volume of the two half-gallon jugs.

The volume of two half-gallon jugs is equal to :

Volume=(2).(\frac{1}{2})gal=1gal

Two half-gallon jugs can storage 1 gallon in total.

1 gal is equal to 3.78541 L (We write this at the beginning of the answer). Now, given that the volume of water stored by the three-liter bottle is 3 L or less (because of the small leak) :

3.78541L>3L

Therefore, the volume of the two containers is greater than the maximum volume of water stored in the three-liter bottle ⇒ The containers will hold all of the water.

Alonzo works as a car detailer. He charges $175 per car. He is planning to move out of his parents' house and rent his first apa
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

10 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable c = car

Step 1: form an equation

175c + 1886 = 115 + 965 + (1240)2

Step 2: isolate variable c and solve

175c + 1886 = 3560

175c = 3560 - 1886

175c = 1674

c = 1674 ÷ 175

c = 9.56....

*He will not get paid until the full car is detailed. Therefore, decimals (seen as half a car) will not pay him anything.*

Step 3: round up to the nearest whole number

c = 10
