Question

A pitcher her could hold two twelfths of a gallon of water. If roger filled up nine pitchers, how much water would he have

Answer 1

I believe the answer is 1 1/2 gallons of water.

Answer 2

Well, you if a pitcher holds
`(2)/(12)` of a gallon of water, and Roger filled up nine pitchers, you would multiply, however, drawing it out would be the best answer. If you draw nine pitchers, then you would count by 2. Then it would make 6 pitchers to make a gallon. So then you would have 3 left over. So you would have 1
`(6)/(12)`. So you would have 1 1/2 gallons of water.
