Question

A scientist had 3/4 of a botttle of solution. She used 1/6 of the solution in experiment. How much of the bottle did she use?

Answer 1

`(1)/(8)`

Explanation:

Given : A scientist had
`(3)/(4)` of a bottle of a solution.

The part of the solution she used in the experiment :
`(1)/(6)`

The part of bottle she used is given by :

`(1)/(6) *(3)/(4)`

=
`(1*3)/(4*6)`

=
`(3)/(24)`

Simplify =
`(1)/(8)`

Hence, she used
`(1)/(8)` of the bottle .
