Question

Edgar has a birdbath that holds 2 gallons of water. He only wants to fill it 3/4 full. How much water, in gallons, should Edgar put in the birdbath? Explain.

Answer 1

To find 3/4 of 2 gallons, you multiply 2 by 3/4, which is 2 * 3/4 = 6/4 = 1.5 gallons. Therefore, Edgar should put 1.5 gallons of water in the birdbath to fill it 3/4 full.
