Solution
First, we need to convert the gallons to ounces because it's easier to visualize the distribution. There are 128 ounces in a gallon. So, 2 gallons of ketchup is equal to 2 * 128 = 256 ounces.
Next, we distribute these 256 ounces evenly among 15 bottles. To do this, we divide the total number of ounces by the number of bottles: 256 ÷ 15 = 17.07 ounces.
However, the question asks for the answer in gallons. To convert ounces back to gallons, we divide by 128 (since there are 128 ounces in a gallon). So, 17.07 ÷ 128 = 0.133 gallons.
So, each bottle gets approximately 0.133 gallons of ketchup.
