STEP 1:
multiply 16 oz. by 3/4 to find how many ounces are 3/4 of the bottle

=16 * 3/4
=(16*3)/4
=48/4
=12 ounces


STEP 2:
subtract step 1 answer from the whole 16 oz. to find number of ounces left

=16 - 12
=4 ounces left


CHECK:
multiply the whole 16 oz. by the fraction that would be left (4/4 - 3/4= 1/4). There are several ways to check this problem; this is just one way.

=16 * 1/4
=(16*1)/4
=16/4
=4


ANSWER: 4 ounces would be left

Hope this helps! :)
