Final answer:

To find out how much juice each bottle contains, we subtract the remaining juice (0.3 gallons) from the total (6 gallons) and then divide by the number of bottles (4), resulting in 1.425 gallons per bottle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yasmine bought 6 gallons of apple juice. After filling up 4 bottles, she had 0.3 gallons left. To determine the amount of apple juice in each bottle, we need to subtract the remaining juice from the total amount she bought and then divide that by the number of bottles.



First, subtract the remaining juice from the total amount:



6 gallons - 0.3 gallons = 5.7 gallons



Next, divide this amount by the number of bottles to find out how much juice goes into each bottle:



5.7 gallons / 4 bottles = 1.425 gallons per bottle



This means that each bottle contains 1.425 gallons of apple juice.
