Question

A glass of water was seven- eighths of a liter. With a 6 liter jug, how many glasses could you pour? Do you have to multiply divide subtract or add

Answer 1

Let us suppose, we pour x glass of water.

The given jug is of 6 liters. And the glass of water was seven- eighths of a liter. Hence, we have the below equation

`(7)/(8) x= 6`

Now, in order to solve for x, we will divide 6 with 7/8. So, we have to divide.

`x=(6)/(7/8) \\ \\ x=(48)/(7) \\ \\ x=6.9`

Hence, we can pour 7 glass of water. But the 7th glass is not full of water. It is partially full.
