Answer 2

Answer:

Smaller cooler can hold 8 gallons and the bigger cooler can hold 40 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  June needs 48 gallons of punch  for a party and has two different

coolers to carry it in. The bigger  cooler is five times as large as the

smaller cooler.

To find: How many gallons  can each cooler hold?

Solution: Let the smaller cooler can carry x gallons of punch.

As per the question, the larger cooler will carry 5x gallons of punch.

Now, it is given that June needs 48 gallons of punch for a party.

So, we have an equation as $x+5x=48$

On solving, the above equation for x we have,

$x+5x=48$

$6x=48$

$x=8$

So, the smaller cooler can hold 8 gallons of punch and the bigger cooler can hold $8\times5=40$ gallons.

Hence, smaller cooler can hold 8 gallons of punch and the bigger cooler can hold 40 gallons of punch.
