anonymous · Answer

so, the watering can hold 16 cups, and it is half full, that means you need to take 16, and divide by 2. whats the answer to that?

8 cups...I see I got so confused..Thank you

So each plant would get 8 cups of water then

anonymous · Answer

no. not quite. it says she took the 8 cups and watered each of her 15 plants so they each get the same amount. thats just math talk saying divide the 8 cups by 15 to get how much water each plant gets.
