How many 1-gallon cans will fit in a 55-gallon drum?

Assistant

A 55-gallon drum can hold approximately 19.6-gallon cans. To calculate this, you can divide the volume of the 55-gallon drum by the volume of a 1-gallon can.

$$Number of 1-gallon cans = \frac{Volume of 55-gallon drum}{Volume of 1-gallon can}$$

$$Number of 1-gallon cans = \frac{55 \ gallons}{1 \ gallon}$$

$$Number of 1-gallon cans = 19.613 gallons$$

Since you can't have a partial can, the closest whole number is 19 cans.
