Question

Runelle collected river water for an experiment. She poured it into 8 jars. Each jar had the mixed number two and three fourths pints of water. What is the total amount of river water Runelle collected?

Answer 1

Answer: 22 pints of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Runelle collected river water and poured in eight jars such that each jar had 2³/₄ of water.

The total amount of water collected by Runelle from the river will therefore be the sum of all the water in the 8 jars and because they are the same, we can simply multiply the quantity in one jar by 8 to see the sum:

= Amount of water in one jar * 8 jars

= 2³/₄  * 8

= 11/4 * 8

= 22 pints of water
