    Answer:

    9/320 gallons of water or 0.028125 gallons of water

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are told in the question:

    13 1/3 cup of salt = 1 cup of water.

    6 cups of salt =

    Cross Multiply

    = 6 × 1/ 13 1/3

    = 6 / 13 1/3

    = 6 ÷ 40/3

    = 6 × 3/40

    = 18/40 cup of water.

    = 9/20 cup of water.

    16 cups of water = 1 gallon

    9/20 cup of water =

    = 9/20 × 1/16

    = 9/20/ 16

    = 9/20 ÷ 16

    = 9/20 × 1/16

    = 9/320 gallons of water or 0.028125 gallons of water

    Therefore, 9/320 gallons of water or 0.028125 gallons of water is needed for 6 cups of salt

    =
