Answer 1

0.3 gallon

Explanation:

To do this problem, we must divide the amount of cement by the number of feet to see how much cement he used for each foot.

15/50 = 0.3 gallon

Answer 2

0.3 gallons per foot

Explanation:

We know that he used 15 gallons of cement for 50 feet.

We want to find the amount per foot or the amount per each 1 foot.

So we have to divide the 15 gallons by the 50 feet.

15 / 50 = 0.3 gallons per foot.
