Question

A pitcher contains 2/3 quart of water. If an equal amount of water is poured into 6 glasses how much water will each glass contain?

Answer 1

2/3 x 6
4 quarts
basically 2/3 x 6/1
6x2 which is 12
3x1 which is 3
12/3 is 4
4 quarts

Answer 2

1/ 9 quart of water or 0.11 quart

Explanation:

A pitcher contains=
`(2)/(3)` quarts of water

An equal amount of water is to be poured into 6 glasses

We have to find the amount of water in each glass

Hence, amount of water in each glass =
`(amount of water )/(number of glasses)`

Hence, amount of water in each glass =
}{6}[/tex]

Amount of water in each glass =
`(2 )/(18)`

Amount of water in each glass =
`(1 )/(9)`

Hence, amount of water in each glass = 0.111 quart
