ok so there are 8- gallon cans and you need a total of 120 gallons of water…. so you need to multiply 8 by a number (or variable) in order to get 120

that's ok

anonymous · Answer

we'll start again :D

anonymous · Answer

ok :D So what do we do first? none of the could be answers have anything to do with multiplication.

anonymous · Answer

ok so it is asking you how many 8 gallon cans you need to have 120 gallons of water right?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

8x15=120

anonymous · Answer

ok so we can eliminate 2 answers because they are dividing. When you are asked to find how many cans that are 8 gallons to equal 120 you can't divide because when you divide you get small numbers.

…. basically you just solved the answer for D. :D

anonymous · Answer

15, 8-gallon cans will get you 120 gallons of water
