Question

Two students fill the class fish tank with water. The fish tank holds six gallons of water. The two students each have a container that holds sixteen fluid ounces. How many times does each student need to fill the container to get a total of six gallons of water? Show all your mathematical thinking.

PLEASE HELPPPP

Answer 1

24

they each will need to fill their bottle 24 times (48 times in total)

Explanation:

There are 768 ounces in 6 gallons.

If each bottle carries 16 ounces in total to fill up the tank it would take 48 bottles. ( 48*16=768)

There is two students though, so you split it. (48/2=24)

Therefore each student need to fill there bottle 24 times to fill up the tank.
