Jack, Jill, and Bill each carried a 48-ounce bucket full of water down the hill. By the time they reached the bottom:

- Jack's bucket was only 3/4 full.
- Jill's bucket was 2/3 full.
- Bill's bucket was 1/6 full.

How much water did they spill altogether on their way down the hill?

68 ounces because 48/4= 12 so jack spilled 12 ounces. 48/3=16 so Jill spilled 16 ounces. 48/6=8 so bill spilled 40 ounces.12+16+40=68. Hope this helps

divide 48 by 4 and you get 12 ounces. Therefore, each 1/4 of a bucket is equal to 12 ounces. divide 48 by 3 and you get 16 ounces. Therefore, each 1/3 of a bucket is 16 ounces. Divide 48 by 6 and you get 8 ounces. 8 multiplyed by 5 is 40. Add 40 16 and 12 and you get 68 ounces
