MEDAL AND FAN IF YOU HELP! >_<

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

Martha, Brett, and Mike are competing in a cooking competition. They all used different amounts of oil from a can containing 8 gallons of oil. •Martha used 17% of the total oil in the can. •Brett used 0.18 of the total oil in the can. •Mike used 0.7 gallon of the total oil in the can. Who used the greatest amount of oil from the can? Show your work and explain your answer in words.

OpenStudy (rizags):

Brett used 0.18 gallons or percent?

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

I think Percent.

OpenStudy (rizags):

All you need to do then is evaluate (0.17)(8)

OpenStudy (rizags):

if that number is bigger than 0.7, then martha used the most. If not, Mike used the most

OpenStudy (rizags):

unless you meant Brett used 18%. 18% and 0.18% are very different

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

I'm confused, cause what I did for the question is what the original one said, Can you go through the question with me step by step??

OpenStudy (rizags):

Sure I can, but first I need you to clarify the question because it is extremely unclear.

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

How do I do that?

OpenStudy (rizags):

Retype the Question correctly.

OpenStudy (rizags):

That original doesnt look right at all

OpenStudy (rizags):

OpenStudy (rizags):

0.18 means what?

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

It's okay, want a medal?

OpenStudy (rizags):

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

OpenStudy (rizags):
