Answer:


\bold{(1)/(6)} of the bottle was used

Explanation:

Amount of cleaning solution present in spray bottle =
\frac{2}3 of the bottle

Amount of cleaning solution present in the spray bottle used =
\frac{1}4 of the cleaning solution present initially

To find:

How much of the bottle was used?

Solution:

Here, we need to find how much amount of the cleaning solution spray was used from the complete bottle.

Amount of spray used =
(1)/(4)* (2)/(3) of the cleaning solution =
\bold{(1)/(6)} of the cleaning solution.

Therefore, the answer is:


\bold{(1)/(6)} of the bottle was used
