Question

Diego pours 6.8 ounces of water from a full bottle. He estimates that he poured out 20% of the water in the bottle. About how much water was in the full bottle? Diego pours out 25% of the remaining water. About how many ounces did he pour the second time? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

34 ounces were in the full bottle , The second time he poured about 7.48 ounces

Explanation:

20 times 5 = 100 so,

6.8 times 5 = 34

PART 2

Diego poured out 20% wich is equal to 6.8 and if you subtract both pour's that he did you get 20.4. The you subtract that amount that he had already poured from the total wich gives you 13.6 and 5% of 13.6 is 0.68. Add 0.68 and 6.8 to get 7.48
