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.
