Your mother bought a three-liter bottle of water.When she got home she discovered a small leak in the bottom and asked you to find a container to transfer the water into .All you could find were two half-gallon jugs . Will your container hold all of the water?
a liter is slightly larger than a quart
two half gallons is four quarts
2 litters
To determine if the two half-gallon jugs can hold all of the water from the three-liter bottle, we need to convert the liters to gallons.
1 liter is approximately equal to 0.264172 gallons.
So, for the three-liter bottle: 3 liters * 0.264172 gallons/liter = 0.792516 gallons.
Since there are two half-gallon jugs, their combined capacity is 2 * 0.5 gallon = 1 gallon.
Therefore, the two half-gallon jugs are not enough to hold all of the water from the three-liter bottle.
To determine whether the two half-gallon jugs will hold all of the water from the three-liter bottle, we need to convert the measurements to a consistent unit.
One gallon is equivalent to 3.78541 liters. Therefore, half a gallon is equal to 0.5 * 3.78541 = 1.89271 liters.
Since you have two half-gallon jugs, you have a total capacity of 1.89271 * 2 = 3.78542 liters.
Comparing this to the original three-liter bottle, we can see that the two half-gallon jugs combined can hold slightly more water than the three-liter bottle. Thus, the container will be able to hold all of the water.
