Question

Damien sets up a bucket to catch raindrops. The bucket can hold 1 gallon. If each raindrop is made of about 1/90 fluid ounces of water , how many raindrops will the bucket be able to hold?

Answer 1

1 US fluid ounce = 0.0078125 US gallons
x fluid ounce = 1 gallon. Solve for x.
x = 1/0.0078125 = 128.
Then:
1/90 in a drop
128 in y drops, solve for y.
y = 128*90 = 11520 rain drops. If I did not make any careless mistake. :-)

Answer 2

thank you :)
