Question

Sally decided to sell lemonade over her summer vacation. She prepared a $6.5$ gallon batch of lemonade. She divided the lemonade into five little jugs. What is the capacity of each Jug in liters?

• A. $5\text{L}$
  
• B. $9\text{L}$
• C. $20\text{L}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $5\text{L}$


$1\text{L}=0.26\text{gal}\Rightarrow 1\text{gal}=\frac{1}{0.26}\text{L}$

$\Rightarrow 6.5\text{gal}=\frac{6.5}{0.26}\text{L}=\frac{650}{26}\text{L}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{650}{26}\text{L}=\frac{13\times 50}{13\times 2}\text{L}=25\text{L}$

Since $5$ jug hold $25$ L of lemonade
So, $1$ jug will hold $\frac{25}{5}=5\text{L}$ of lemonade
