Lindsay's watering can holds 12 quarts of water. She uses 1 pint of water on each of her flowers. How many flowers can she water? Enter your answer in the box. ____ flowers.
There are 8 pints in a gallon, so there are 96 pints in 12 quarts. Therefore, Lindsay can water 96/1 = 96 flowers.
Answer: 96 flowers.
To solve this problem, we need to convert the capacity of Lindsay's watering can from quarts to pints.
1 quart is equal to 2 pints.
So, Lindsay's watering can holds 12 x 2 = 24 pints of water.
Since Lindsay uses 1 pint of water for each flower, she can water 24 / 1 = 24 flowers.
Therefore, Lindsay can water 24 flowers.
To find out how many flowers Lindsay can water, we need to determine how many pints of water can be obtained from her watering can.
First, we need to convert 12 quarts to pints. Since there are 2 pints in 1 quart, we can multiply 12 by 2 to get the number of pints in 12 quarts: 12 quarts * 2 pints/quart = 24 pints.
Next, we divide the total number of pints (24) by the amount of water used per flower (1 pint), which gives us the number of flowers she can water: 24 pints / 1 pint/flower = 24 flowers.
Therefore, Lindsay can water 24 flowers with her watering can.
