What are you having a problem with?

solomonzelman · Answer

there are 56 liters in 8 containers

therefore
there are  ___ liters in 1 container.

What do you think ?

anonymous · Answer

I think it may be A but I'm not positive. If you divide 56 by 8 you get 7 so I would think 1 container can hold 7 liters each.

Yes I know I am sorry, I just feel like sometimes as a confused student myself it can be harder to understand unless you have an example before being asked to do the problem yourself.
