Answer: He has enough bottle

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Craig has 5/6 of a bottle of glue and that a recipe calls for three quarters of a bottle.

To know if he has enough bottle, we can subtract 3/4 from 5/6. This will be:

= 5/6 - 3/4

= 10/12 - 9/12

= 1/12

He has enough bottle since we got a positive value when we subtracted.
