Question

David is filling five 3/4 quart bottles with a sports drink. His measuring cup only holds 1/4 quart. How many times will David need to fill the measuring cup in order to fill the 5 bottles?

Answer 1

if the bottles are3/4 quart and he have 5 bottles that means he have tree 1/4 in one bottle then 3*5=15 so he have to fill the measuring cup 15 times.

Answer 2

`15\ times`

Explanation:

Step 1

Find the total quarts in the five bottles

Multiply
`5` by
`(3)/(4)`

so

`5*(3)/(4)=(15)/(4)\ quarts`

Step 2

Find the number of cups needed to fill the five bottles

by proportion

`(1)/((1/4))(cup)/(quarts) =(x)/((15/4))(cups)/(quarts)\\ \\x=((15/4))/((1/4))\\\\x=15\ cups`
