Problem Solving
- The veterinarian at City Zoo keeps track of how much water each animal drinks in a period of time. Decide which animal drinks the greatest amount of water and fill in the blank.
The ___________ drinks the greatest amount of water.
Answer:
The elephant drinks the greatest amount of water.
Explanation:
We know that 1 pint is equal to 2 cups.
1 quarts is equal to 2 pints.
1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts. - The elephant drinks 20 one – gallon containers and 20 one – quart containers.
20/4 = 5 gallons
20 gallons + 5 gallons = 25 gallons
The elephant drinks 25 gallons of water. - The lion drinks 40 one – quarts containers and 3 one – gallon containers.
40/4 = 10 gallons
10 gallons + 3 gallons = 13 gallons
The lion drinks 13 gallons of water. - The Giraffe drinks 20 one – quart containers and 5 one – gallon containers.
20/4 = 5 gallons
5 gallons + 5 gallons = 10 gallons
The giraffe drinks 10 gallons of water. - The zebra drinks 3 one – gallon containers and 3 one – quart containers.
3 gallons and 3 quarts is slightly greater than 3 gallons.
The zebra drinks 3 gallons of water.
