Question

The “Alte Post” inn purchases fruit brandy directly from the distillery in 3.9 liter balloons. To serve it, the fruit brandy is poured into 0.7 liter bottles. How many bottles can be filled from two balloons?

Answer 1

To determine the number of 0.7 liter bottles that can be filled from two 3.9 liter balloons of fruit brandy, calculate the total volume of brandy (7.8 liters) and divide by the volume of each bottle (0.7 liters), resulting in 11 whole bottles with a slight remainder.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many 0.7 liter bottles can be filled from two 3.9 liter balloons of fruit brandy, we need to calculate the total volume of brandy available and then divide that by the volume capacity of each bottle. Here are the steps:

1. Calculate the total volume of brandy in two balloons: 2 balloons × 3.9 liters/balloon = 7.8 liters.
2. Calculate the number of bottles that can be filled: 7.8 liters ÷ 0.7 liters/bottle.
3. Perform the division to find out the number of bottles: 7.8 liters ÷ 0.7 liters/bottle = 11.14.

Since we cannot have a fraction of a bottle, we can fill 11 whole bottles, with a little brandy leftover.
