Question

A juicer holds 43 3/4 pints of juice. How many 2 1/2 pint bottles can be filled with that much juice?

Answer 1

To find out how many 2 1/2 pint bottles can be filled with 43 3/4 pints of juice, divide the total amount of juice by the capacity of each bottle. The answer is approximately 22 and a half 2 1/2 pint bottles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many 2 1/2 pint bottles can be filled with 43 3/4 pints of juice, you need to divide the total amount of juice by the capacity of each bottle.

First, convert 43 3/4 pints to a mixed fraction: 43 3/4 = 43 + 3/4 = 43 + 3/2 = 44 1/2.

Then, divide 44 1/2 by 2 1/2: 44 1/2 ÷ 2 1/2 = 44 ÷ 2 + 1/2 ÷ 2 = 22 + 1/2 = 22 1/2.

Therefore, you can fill approximately 22 and a half 2 1/2 pint bottles with that much juice.

Answer 2

We are given

A juicer holds 43 3/4 pints of juice

so, total juice is

`=43(3)/(4)`

we can simplify it

`=(4* 43+3)/(4)`

`=(175)/(4)`

Each bottle has juice

`=2(1)/(2)`

`=(5)/(2)`

we have to find total number of bottom

Total number of bottles = ( total juice)/( juice in each bottle)

so, we get

`N=((175)/(4))/((5)/(2))`

`N=(35)/(2)`

`N=17.5`

So, it can fill 17 and half bottles...........Answer
