Here is a bonus question to work on over the long weekend. In order to get 5 BONUS points on your next quiz, you must submit to me in writing (or email) a detailed answer to the following problem, by MONDAY, September 28. Parents, you are encouraged to work with your child on these problems. This is more of a logic problem than a math problem, so no advanced math is necessary. Please email or turn in before class begins on Monday.
CAN YOU MAKE 16 GALLONS?
You have 2 containers. One container holds exactly 20 gallons of liquid and the other holds exactly 12 gallons of liquid. How can you measure out EXACTLY 16 gallons of liquid using ONLY these 2 containers. You may fill the containers more than once and you can empty the containers as needed. You may not use any other materials. This is NOT a trick question, nor a play on word question.
Good luck!
