Question

Lana's little sister needs to take a bubble bath. The package says to put in a drop of bubble bath for every half gallon of water in the bath tub. Lana doesn't know how many half-gallons there are, but she knows that their bathtub can hold 12 gallons of water. How many drops can she put into the bath for her sister?

Answer 1

Answer:

24 drops

Step-by-step explanation:

Well 2 half gallons is equivalent 1 one gallon

If the tub can hold 12 gallons, multiplying this by 2 to see how many half gallons this is would be: (12)(2) = 24 half gallons

If she needs 1 drop per every half gallon and the tub we now know can hold 24 half gallons, she must need 24 drops
