Question

Jon filled a bucket with 2.7 gallons of water. He used 0.98 gallons for watering his tomato plants and 0.76 gallons for watering his peppers. How much water did he have left in his bucket?

Answer 1

Answer: quantity of water left over = 0.96 gallons

Explanation:

Given: Total quantity of water = 2.7 gallons

Water used for tomato plants = 0.98 gallons

Water used for peppers = 0.76 gallons

Total water used = 0.98 +0.76 = 1.74 gallons

Then, quantity of water left over = Total quantity of water - Total water used

= 2.7 - 1.74 gallons

= 0.96 gallons

Hence, quantity of water left over = 0.96 gallons
