To make a sports drink for a football team, jaylen filled 9/10 of a large cooler with water. then he filled the remaning space with 6 cups of sports drink concentrate.
How many gallons of sports drink did Jaylen make?

Answer 1

Hello!

Assuming that we are using U.S. terms, there are sixteen cups in a gallon.

We can assume that there are six cups per tenth of the cooler. Our first job is to multiply 6 times 10 to get the amount of cups of sports drink.

6 · 10 = 60.

Now we need to find out how many gallons of sports drinks there are. To find how many cups go into a gallon, we divided 60 by 16.

60 ÷ 16 = 3.75

So, for our final answer,

Jaylen made 3.75 gallons of sports drink. (3 $\frac{3}{4}$)
