Question

Scott and Nikki each have a full 1.5-gallon container of liquid laundry detergent. The lid on Scott’s container can hold 3 fluid ounces of detergent, while the lid on Nikki’s container can hold 4 fluid ounces of detergent. How many more lids full of detergent does Scott have than Nikki?

Answer 1

There are 128 ounces in 1 gallon
1,5gallons= 192 ounces
Scott = 3 oz per lid
192 divided by 3 = 64 lids of detergent
Nikki = 4oz per lid 
192 divided by 4 = 48 1/2 lids
64 - 48.5 = 15.5 lids more

Answer 2

Answer:

Thus Scott's container can hold 1 more fluid ounces of detergent than that of Nikki

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Scott and Nikki each have a full 1.5-gallon container of liquid laundry detergent.

The lid on Scott’s container can hold 3 fluid ounces of detergent, while the lid on Nikki’s container can hold 4 fluid ounces of detergent.

The difference = larger-smaller

= 4-3

= 1 fluid oz of detergent.

Thus Scott's container can hold 1 more fluid ounces of detergent than that of Nikki.
