Question

dan's cooler holds 5 gallons of water if he pours 1/5 gallons of water into each water bottle how many water bottles will it take to empty the cooler of water

Answer 1

For this case we have the following rate:

`(1)/(5)\cdot\frac{\text{gallons}}{\text{bottle}}`

The total amount of volume is 5 gallons

Then we can find the number of bottles in the following way:

`\text{Bottles}=\frac{5\text{gal}}{(1)/(5)\cdot\frac{\text{gal}}{\text{bot}}}=25\text{bottles}`

Then the total of bottles are 25
