Answer 1

107 more 6 ounce glasses than 12 ounce glasses can be filled from a full cooler.

Explanation:

A water cooler holds 1284 oz of water.

Capacity of water cooler = 1284 oz

We need to find how many more 6 ounce glasses than 12 ounce glasses can be filled from a full cooler,

`\texttt{Number of 6 ounce glasses can be filled = }(1284)/(6)=214`

`\texttt{Number of 12 ounce glasses can be filled = }(1284)/(12)=107`

Difference in number of glasses = 214 - 107 = 107

107 more 6 ounce glasses than 12 ounce glasses can be filled from a full cooler.
