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.
