Question

The sixth graders brought 60 bottles of water, each containing 1/5 liter, to the park. How many liters of water did they carry in total?

A) 6 liters
B) 12 liters
C) 24 liters
D) 60 liters

Answer 1

To calculate the total volume of water in liters, multiply 60 bottles by 1/5 liter per bottle to get 12 liters, making the correct answer B) 12 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the total volume of water in liters that the sixth graders brought to the park. Given that there are 60 bottles of water, each with a volume of 1/5 liter, we can find the total volume by multiplying the number of bottles by the volume of each bottle.

To do that, we use the equation:
Total volume = Number of bottles × Volume per bottle
Total volume = 60 × 1/5
Total volume = 12 liters

Therefore, the correct answer is B) 12 liters. The sixth graders brought a total of 12 liters of water to the park.
