Damien sets up a bucket to catch rain drops the bucket can hold 1 gallon. If each raindrop is mae of about 1/90 fluid ounce of water,how many raindrops will the bucket be able to hold?
1 US gallon = 128 US fluid ounces
128 / (1/90) = ?
Thank you soooo much!
To calculate the number of raindrops the bucket can hold, we need to convert the measurement units so they are consistent.
1 gallon is equal to 128 fluid ounces (since there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon).
Now, let's calculate the number of raindrops the bucket can hold:
1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces
Each raindrop = 1/90 fluid ounce
To find the number of raindrops that can be held in 1 gallon, we divide the total number of fluid ounces in the gallon by the volume of each raindrop:
128 fluid ounces ÷ (1/90 fluid ounce) = 128 fluid ounces × (90/1) raindrops
Simplifying the expression:
= 128 × 90 raindrops
= 11,520 raindrops
Therefore, the bucket will be able to hold 11,520 raindrops.
