Question

Mr. Hynes waters each tomato plant with a quart of water every day. How many gallons of water does he use to water 6 tomato plants during the month of June?

Answer 1

Answer:

• There are six tomato plants.
• June has thirty days.
• Each tomato plant requires one quart of water for thirty days.

• 4 quarts equals one gallon of water.

• We have to convert the number of quarts into the number of gallons at the end.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 tomato plants mean six quarts of water.

Six quarts of water to be used for thirty days.

6 x 30 = 180 quarts of water

Now we have to convert the number of quarts into amounts of gallons.

We divide 180 by 4 because four quarts equal one gallon of water.

ANSWER: 45 gallons of water
