A:
Answer:Zoe's Fish tank holds 27 L of water, so this is the capacity of the tank. On the other hand, Zoe uses a 3L container in order to fill the tank, so the question is Β how many times does she have to fill the three litter container in order to fill the fish tank? Let's solve this as follows:First time: She pours 3LSecond time: She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 3L, so she has poured 6LThird time: She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 6L, so she has poured 9LFourth time: She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 9L, so she has poured 12LFifth time: She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 12L, so she has poured 15LSixth time: She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 15L, so she has poured 18LSeventh time: She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 18L, so she has poured 21LEighth time: She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 21L, so she has poured 24LNinth time: She pours another 3L, but she previously poured 24L, so she has poured 27LAccording to this, she needs to pours the 3L container nine times in order to fill the fish tank.
