Question

Zack watered his garden with 1 3/8

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is that Zack used 2 7/8 gallons to water his garden on the fifth week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find out the pattern Zack is using to water his garden, this way:

First week =  1 3/8  gallons of water

Second week = 1 3/4 gallons of water = 1 3/8 + 3/8 = 1 6/8 = 1 3/4

Third week = 2 1/8 gallons of water = 1 3/4 + 3/8 = 1 6/8 + 3/8 = 2 1/8

The constant of adding every week is 3/8 gallons, therefore,

Fourth week = 2 1/8 + 3/8 = 2 4/8 = 2 1/2 gallons of water

Fifth week = 2 1/2 + 3/8 = 2 4/8 + 3/8 = 2 7/8 gallons of water

The correct answer is that Zack used 2 7/8 gallons to water his garden on the fifth week.
