Question

Allie has 7 gallons of milk. If she can fill one bowl with 1/3 of on gallon of milk. How many bowls will she need for all the milk?

Answer 1

21 bowls total because for each gallon, 3 bowls are needed so 3 bowls times 7 gallons is 21 bowls.

Answer 2

Amount of milk Allie has = 7 gallons

1 bowl is filled with =
`(1)/(3)` of a gallon

Let the number of bowls required be = x

`(1)/(3)` gallon is used to fill = 1 bowl

1 gallon is used to fill =
`(1)/((1)/(3))` bowls = 3 bowls

7 gallons are used to fill =
`3*7=21` bowls
