Three families live in the same apartment building. They decided to share a giant 220-ounce container of laundry detergent. If the families split the detergent equally, how many ounces of laundry detergent will each family get?
They will get 73 ounces of laundry detergent because 220 divided by 3 is 73.33333333 but you can't have a decimal of a ounce so they each get 73 ounces of laundry detergent.
