Answer:
1.5 gallons of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question, we must use multiplication. We know that
- a pitcher holds 2/12 of a gallon (this is interpreted from "two twelves as two twelfths"
- Roger fills up 9 pitchers
First, 2/12 = 1/6.
Next, we multiply 1/6 by 9, which is the total amount of water.
The answer is 9/6, or 1.5.
Therefore, Roger would have 1.5 gallons of water.
