Question

Tim wants to boil rice on the stove. He needs to use exactly three gallons of water in a pot to boil the rice. Which method should Tim use to most accurately measure the water?


a.Tim should use a 100-gallon barrel to fill water into the pot.
b.Tim should use a 1-gallon jug to fill water into the pot.
c.Tim should use a teaspoon to fill water into the pot.
d.Tim should fill water in his palm and pour it into the pot.

Answer 1

b. is the answer because he can just refill the 1 gallon jug to eventually measure out 3 gallons!

Answer 2

The Correct answer would be B. Because it wouldn't be logical to fill the Water with a teaspoon or a 100 gallon barrel. It would be unnecessary to fill a 100 gallon barrel up just 3 gallons It doesn't make sense. So a One Gallon jug that you fill and dump 3 times is much more sensible.
