Question

Sam picked 1/2 gallon of blueberries. he poured the blueberries into one of his plastic containers and noticed that the berries filled the container 2/3 full. how many gallons of blueberries does it take to fill sam’s container completely full?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/4 gallons of blueberries

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

1/2 gallon of blueberries filled the container 2/3 full

so

using proportion

Find out how many gallons of blueberries does it take to fill Sam’s container completely full

Remember that

completely full (100% filled) is the same that the fraction 3/3 or 1

so

$\frac{(1/2)}{(2/3)}=\frac{x}{1}\\\\x=\frac{1}{2}:\frac{2}{3}\\\\x= \frac{1*3}{2*2}\\\\x=\frac{3}{4}\ gal$
