Question

You have a 20 20 -ounce bottle of juice. You pour out 1 4 14 of the bottle to share with a friend. If you pour out 3 3 ounces for yourself, what fraction of the 20 20 ounces will be left in the bottle?

Answer 1

`(3)/(20)`

Explanation:

Given that originally there was 20 ounces o juice.

FIrst you pour 14 oz to share with a friend. Hence remaining juice would be 6 oz.

Now again 3 oz is poured for yourself.

From 6 oz 3 oz is poured

Remaining juice left in the bottle =6-3 =3 oz

Hence we have 3 ozof juice left in the bottle

To write as a fraction of original juice we write 3 in numerator and 20 in denominator as

`(3)/(20)`
