Question

You have 4 3/7 grams of a substance and want to divide it into vials of 6 1/4 grams each. Estimate how many vials you can fill.

Answer 1

`(124)/(175)` vials

Explanation:

You have
`4(3)/(7)` =
`(31)/(7)` grams of a substance.

You want to divide it into vials of
`6(1)/(4)` =
`(25)/(4)` grams each.

Number of vials you can fill is:
`(31)/(7)` ÷
`(25)/(4)` =
`(31)/(7)` ×
`(4)/(25)` =
`(124)/(175)` vials
