lynn has a watering can that holds 16 cups of water,and she fills it half full.then she waters her 15 plants so that each plant gets the same amount of water.how much cups of water will each plant get.

Sagot :

Half full, so 8 cups of water.

8/15 = 0.5333333333333 cups of water per plant.

= 0.533 cups of water per plant (3 significant figures).
If the watering can can hold 16 cups of water, and is only half full, then it has 16/2 cups of water in it, or 8 cups.

Spread equally over 15 plants, we want to know how many cups of water per plant she's giving. Therefore, each plant gets 8/15 cup of water. Hope this helps! :)
