He'll need 3/4 gallons of water.

Thanks

But is it a. Between 1 and full pitchers b. Between 2 and 3 full pitchers c. About 1/2 of a pitcher or d. About 1/4 of a full pitcher

And your answer is?

I think a or c

Yep, it's one of those.

Which

Is it c right

Sorry -- I wasn't thinking. It'll take a little more than 2 of the 1/3 gallon pitchers.

You can solve the equation "how many 1/3 pitchers must you fill to make 3/4" that is...
(1/3)times Pitcher = 3/4
(1/3)(P)= 3/4
so multiply both sides by 3
(3)(1/3)(P) = (3)(3/4)
the 3's reduce on the left leaving P = 9/4 or as Ms Sue said a little more than 2 gallons...
Since 9/4 is an improper fraction that makes 2 and 1/4 if it is converted to a mixed fraction.

1/3 p-----to 3/4 g (g.c.f ) of 3 and 4 is 12.
1/3=4/12p
3/4=9/12
4/12 + 4/12=8/12
4/12 + 4/12+4/12=12/12, so Jason needs between 2and 3 full pitchers.

2 1/4
