A drink bottler needs to fill 20 one-pint bottles, and he has two tanks: one that contains 2 gallons of soda, and a second that contains 3 gallons. Which will he need to fill the bottles?

To determine which tank the drink bottler will need to fill the bottles, we need to calculate the total amount of soda required to fill 20 one-pint bottles. Given: - 1 gallon = 8 pints - 1 pint = 0.125 gallons First, let's calculate the total amount of soda required to fill 20 one-pint bottles: Total amount of soda required = 20 bottles * 1 pint/bottle * 0.125 gallons/pint Next, we will compare the total amount of soda required with the amount of soda available in each tank to determine which tank the drink bottler will need to fill the bottles. Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(20\times 1\times 0.125\) - step1: Rewrite the expression: \(20\times 0.125\) - step2: Multiply the numbers: \(2.5\) The total amount of soda required to fill 20 one-pint bottles is 2.5 gallons. Now, let's compare the total amount of soda required with the amount of soda available in each tank: - Tank 1: 2 gallons - Tank 2: 3 gallons Since the total amount of soda required is 2.5 gallons, the drink bottler will need to use both tanks to fill the bottles.
