Lynn has a watering can that holds 32 cups of water, and she fills it half full. Then she waters her 27 plants so that each plant gets the same amount of water. How many cups of water will each plant get?

16+16=32 or 32-16=16
27-16=11

Each of Lynn's 27 plants will get approximately 0.5926 cups of water when the 32-cup watering can is filled half full and then divided equally among them.

Lynn has a watering can that holds 32 cups of water, and she fills it half full. Then she waters her 27 plants so that each plant gets the same amount of water. To find out how many cups of water each plant will get, you first determine the total amount of water Lynn has by halving the capacity of the watering can. Since the can holds 32 cups when full, half of that would be 16 cups of water (32 divided by 2). You then divide the total amount of water by the number of plants to find out how much water goes to each plant. Doing this calculation, 16 cups divided by 27 plants, you get approximately 0.5926 cups of water per plant. Since it's not possible to easily measure 0.5926 cups, Lynn would round to the nearest practical measurement when watering her plants.
