A container holds 10 gallons of water. If 5/8 of a gallon is added to the container each hour, how many hours would it take to fill the container?
A) 16
B) 2
C) 50
D) 50/8
A) is the answer. This is because 10 wholes by the denominator of 8 is 80. So a factor of 80 is 5, which they have given, and 16. 16 x 5 is 80. And 80/8 is 10. So A) is the right answer. Hope I helped :D!
the best answer would be A :) because: 10 wholes by the denominator of 8 is 80. a factor of 80 is 5, which they have given, and 16. 16 x 5 is 80. And 80/8 is 10.
