Question

A bowl holds Fraction 3 over 10 cup of oil when it is Fraction 2 over 5 full. Which statement best describes the quotient of 3 over 10 division sign2 over 5?

The maximum amount of oil the bowl can hold is Fraction 3 over 4 cup.
The maximum amount of oil the bowl can hold is Fraction 4 over 3 cups.
The amount of oil that can be still poured in the bowl is Fraction 3 over 4 cup.
The amount of oil that can be still poured in the bowl is Fraction 4 over 3 cups.

Answer 1

Hey there :)


`(3)/(10)` cup of oil

`(2)/(5)` full


`(3)/(10)` ÷
`(2)/(5)`
Flip the division sign and find the reciprocal


`(3)/(10)` x
`(5)/(2)`

`(3)/(4)`

Your answer is the third option:
The amount of oil that can still be poured in the bowl is
`(3)/(4)` cups
