Q:

a drink bottler needs to fill 40 one pints bottles and he has two tanks one that contains 2 gallons of soda and a second that contains 3 gallons which will he need to fill the bottles ?

Accepted Solution

A:
one gallon is equal to 8 pints only filling 8 bottles per gallon so if you do 8×2 you can only fill 16 bottles so thats not enough and when you do 8×3=24 its still not enough to fill all 40 bottles so he would need both tanks to fill all 40 bottles 8×5=40
