Question

Jan needed to empty 18 gallons of water from a bath tub into jugs that hold 0.5 Gallons of water. How many jugs did Jan need?

Answer 1

Number of jugs required to hold 18 gallons of water = 18/0.5
                                                                                   = 36
So 36 jugs are required by Jan to empty 18 gallons of water.

Answer 2

Answer: Jan needed 36 jugs to empty 18 gallons of water from a bath tub.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Jan needed to empty 18 gallons of water from a bath tub into jugs that hold 0.5 Gallons of water.

i.e. The amount of water a jug holds = 0.5 gallons

$\dfrac{18}{0.5}=36$

Hence, Jan needed 36 jugs to empty 18 gallons of water from a bath tub.
