To determine the fraction of a full barrel of water that Jennifer used per day, we need to know the total amount of water she used over the 4-day period and the capacity of the barrel.
Since the diagram is not available in this text format, let's assume you have the total amount of water used in the 4 days.
Let’s denote the total amount of water used in 4 days as \( W \) (in fractions of the barrel). Then the daily usage of water would be:
\[
\text{Daily usage} = \frac{W}{4}
\]
Next, we compare \(\frac{W}{4}\) to the options given.
Without the exact value of \( W \), we can make some logical estimations based on the options:
- If \( W = 1 \) (the full barrel used in 4 days), the daily usage is \( \frac{1}{4} \) which corresponds to option A.
- If \( W = \frac{1}{2} \) (half barrel used in 4 days), the daily usage is \( \frac{1}{8} \) which corresponds to option D.
- If \( W = 1/3 \) (approximately one-third of a barrel used in 4 days), the daily usage is \( \frac{1/3}{4} = \frac{1}{12} \) corresponding to option B.
- If \( W = 2 \) (beyond the full barrel in 4 days), the daily usage would be \( \frac{1/2} \) or option C.
Assuming you want the closest fraction without concrete water usage data from the diagram, provide the total amount of water used over the 4 days to reach a specific answer.
In any case, if you can see the values in your diagram and make a calculation based on your observations, you should select the option that results from dividing the total used \( W \) by 4. If more information is available from the diagram, please provide it for a precise answer.
