Question: Harrison has a full 3-gallon watering can. he uses 5/8 of the water on the gardenias in his garden. How much water did the gardenias get?

 

 

 

 

 

Answer:  15 pints

 

 

Solution:  First we converted the amount of water from gallons into pints be­cause a pint is 1/8 of a gallon. Harri­son had 24 pints of water. Then we found 5/8 of 24 and determined Har­rison used 15 pints of water.
