Question

When it is full, a tank holds 15 gallons of water.Jordan is using a 1 pint container to fill the fish tank.How many 1 pint containers of water will Jordan need to fill the fish tank?

Answer 1

For this case we have the following conversion of units:
1 gallon = 8pint
We can then apply the following rule of three:
1 gallon --------> 8 pint
15 gallons -----> x
Clearing x we have:
x = (15/1) * (8)
x = 120 pints
Answer:
Jordan will need 120 pint containers of water to fill the fish tank
