Josh is watering his plants. He gives each of 2 plants 3/5 pint of water. His watering can holds 1/5 pint. How may times will he fill his watering can to water both plants> show a visual model to solve
if he gives each plant 3/5 pint, then that's a total of 6/5 pint.
6/5 = 6 * 1/5
So, he needs to fill the can 6 times.

To determine how many times Josh will need to fill his watering can to water both plants, we can create a visual model.
Let's represent each plant with a circle, and each full watering of the can with a rectangle. The size of the rectangle will represent the amount of water the can can hold, which is 1/5 pint.
First, let's visually represent the amount of water needed for one plant:
Plant 1: 3/5 pint
To represent this, we can divide the circle into 5 equal parts and shade in 3 of them.
```
_______
/ /
/ ▓▓▓ /
/______/
```
Notice that each part represents 1/5 pint of water, and there are 3 shaded parts for Plant 1.
Next, let's represent the amount of water needed for the second plant:
Plant 2: 3/5 pint
To represent this, we can draw another circle divided into 5 equal parts and shade in 3 of them.
```

/ ▓▓▓ /

```
Now, let's represent the amount of water that the watering can can hold:
Watering can: 1/5 pint
We'll draw a rectangle to represent the can.
```

```
To determine how many times Josh will fill his watering can, we need to see how many times the rectangle can fit into the shaded part of each plant.
For Plant 1, we can see that the shaded parts fit perfectly into the rectangle. So, Josh will need to fill his watering can once to water Plant 1.
```

```
For Plant 2, we can see that the shaded parts also fit perfectly into the rectangle. Therefore, Josh will need to fill his watering can once to water Plant 2.
```

Hence, Josh will need to fill his watering can twice in order to water both plants.
