Question

jonas is doing a science experiment with his class. the teacher has 21 fluid ounces of pond water to share equally with 10 pairs of students. how much pond water will Jonas and his science partner receive?

Answer 1

Total Quantity of Pond Water = 21 fluid ounces

Total Students = 10 pairs = 20

Since water needs to be distributed equally,

Water received by 1 student =

⇒ Water received by 1 student =

⇒ Water received by 1 student = 1.05 ounce

Pond water collectively received by Jonas and his science partner = 2 * 1.05

⇒ Pond water collectively received by Jonas and his science partner = 2.1

Answer 2

Total Quantity of Pond Water = 21 fluid ounces

Total Students = 10 pairs = 20

Since water needs to be distributed equally,

Water received by 1 student =
`(Total Quantity of Pond Water)/(Total Number of Students)`

⇒ Water received by 1 student =
`(21)/(20)`

⇒ Water received by 1 student = 1.05 ounce

Pond water collectively received by Jonas and his science partner = 2 * 1.05

⇒ Pond water collectively received by Jonas and his science partner = 2.1
