Question

A pitcher has 6.2 L of water in it. Ray pours water from the pitcher into 7 glasses. Each glass has 0.275L of water in it. How much water is lett in the pitcher? Solve the problem, and show your thinking.

Answer 1

Ray pours 1.925L of water into 7 glasses from a 6.2L pitcher. Substracting this from the initial volume in the pitcher, we find that there are 4.275L of water left.

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin by figuring out the total amount of water Ray pours into the glasses. Each glass holds 0.275L of water, and he pours water into 7 glasses. So, to find the total amount of water poured, we multiply the volume each glass holds by the number of glasses:

0.275L/glass × 7 glasses = 1.925L

Now, we need to figure out how much water is left in the pitcher. The pitcher initially hold 6.2L of water. We subtract the amount of water Ray poured into the glasses from the initial amount of water in the pitcher.

6.2L - 1.925L = 4.275L

So, there are 4.275L of water left in the pitcher after Ray pours water into the 7 glasses.

Answer 2

To find the amount of water left in the pitcher, we first find the total amount of water poured into the glasses by multiplying the amount of water in each glass (0.275 L) by the number of glasses (7):

0.275 L/glass * 7 glasses = 1.925 L

To find the amount of water left in the pitcher, we subtract the total amount of water poured into the glasses from the initial amount of water in the pitcher:

Initial amount of water - Total amount poured = Water left
6.2 L - 1.925 L = 4.275 L

Therefore, there is 4.275 L of water left in the pitcher.
