Mr. meadows has a 6 1⁄2 gallon bucket. his dipping can holds 1 1⁄2 gallons. how many times does he have to dip into the pond with the dipping can to fill the bucket to the top?

If you were to divide 6 1/2 by 1/12 you would get 4.3 (repeating) but since you cant take .3 of a trip to fill an entire bucket and 4 turns wouldn't fill it completely,

Mr meadows would have to take 5 trips

5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to divide the capacity of the bucket (6 1⁄2 gallon) by the amount of gallons that the dip can hold ( 1 1/2)

6 1/2 ÷ 1 1/2 =  

First, we convert to improper fractions

(6x2)+1 / 2 ÷ (1x2)+1 /2 = 13/2 ÷ 3/2

Dividing:

13/2 ÷ 3/2 = (13 x 2 ) / (2x3) = 26/6 = 13/3 = 4.33 times = 5 times ( since in 4 times  the bucket is not filled yet)

$9.89

step-by-step explanation:

9.90 = p x .06 x .25 (3/12 changed to a decimal)

9.90 = p x 0.015

9.90 - 0.015 = p

9.89 = p
