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?

If the watering can can hold 16 cups of water, and is only half full, then it has 16/2 cups of water in it, or 8 cups.
Spread equally over 15 plants, we want to know how many cups of water per plant she's giving. Therefore, each plant gets 8/15 cup of water. Hope this helps! :)

Half full, so 8 cups of water.
8/15 = 0.5333333333333 cups of water per plant.
= 0.533 cups of water per plant (3 significant figures).

Lynn has 8 cups of water in her watering can after filling it half full. When watering her 15 plants, each plant receives 15 8 ​ cups of water, or about 0.53 cups. This calculation helps in evenly distributing the water among the plants.
