Lynn has a watering can that holds 16 cups of water, and she fills it half full. Then she waters her 15 plants so that each plant gets the same amount of water. How many cups of water will each plant get?

Asked by Hbanana

Answer (3)

Has 16 cups of water that is half full. 16/2 = 8 Watering can then has 8 cups of water in it. This number needs to be divided by 15 plants. The answer is 8/15 of a cup of water per plant which is also 0.53 cups per plant.

Lynn fills her 16-cup watering can half full, giving her 8 cups of water. She waters 15 plants equally, which means each plant receives approximately 0.53 cups of water. This is calculated by dividing the total water by the number of plants.
