Question

at sals car repair shop, each of the 8 oil change stations has a jug of windshield washer fluid. the graph shows how much fluid is left in each jug. amount of windshield washer fluid if sal distributes all of the windshield washer fluid equally among the 8 jugs, how much will be in each jug? 1/2 gallon 7/8 gallon 1 1/7 gallons 1 1/2 gallons

Explanation:

Step1: Count the amount of fluid in each jug from the graph

There are 2 jugs with 0 gallons, 1 jug with $\frac{1}{2}$ gallon, 2 jugs with 1 gallon, and 3 jugs with $1\frac{1}{2}$ gallons.

Step2: Calculate the total amount of fluid

\[

$$\begin{align*} \text{Total}&=2\times0 + 1\times\frac{1}{2}+2\times1+3\times1\frac{1}{2}\\ &=0+\frac{1}{2}+ 2+3\times\frac{3}{2}\\ &=\frac{1}{2}+2+\frac{9}{2}\\ &=\frac{1 + 4+9}{2}\\ &=\frac{14}{2}=7 \end{align*}$$

\]

Step3: Divide the total amount by the number of jugs

Since there are 8 jugs, the amount in each jug is $\frac{7}{8}$ gallon.

Answer:

$\frac{7}{8}$ gallon
