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

Respuesta :

Solution

For this case we have the following rate:

[tex]\frac{1}{5}\cdot\frac{\text{gallons}}{\text{bottle}}[/tex]

The total amount of volume is 5 gallons

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

[tex]\text{Bottles}=\frac{5\text{gal}}{\frac{1}{5}\cdot\frac{\text{gal}}{\text{bot}}}=25\text{bottles}[/tex]

Then the total of bottles are 25
