Question

There are 20 trees in a yard that each produced 1 gallon of syrup. If the syrup needs to be put into 3 gallon containers, how many containers are necessary to hold all of the syrup?

Answer 1

For this case we have that if 20 trees produce 1 gallon of syrup each, then we have 20 gallons of syrup.

We must find the number of containers for the 20 gallons, knowing that each container has a capacity of 3 gallons.

$\frac {20} {3} = 6.67$

So, we need 7 containers.

Answer:

7 containers
