Question

Sarah,Leah,Haley and Kim bought 5 bottles of water to share among themselves. They divided each bottle of water into 4 equal portions. Sarah took 1 portion from each bottle of water. Which equation represents how much bottle of water Sarah took?

Answer 1

Sarah have
`(5)/(4)` bottle of water.

Explanation:

We are given that,

Total number of bottles = 5

As, each bottle is divided into 4 portions.

The amount of water per person =
`(1)/(4)`

Further, Sarah took 1 portion from each bottle and there are 5 bottles.

So, the amount of water Sarah have =
`(1)/(4)* 5` =
`(5)/(4)`

Hence, Sarah have
`(5)/(4)` bottle of water.
