B) She buys another 2L of fruit punch. How many more glasses containing the same amount of fruit punch as before can she fill at most?

Answer 1

Miss Shiva pours 2 ³⁄₅L of fruit punch equally into 4 glasses. The amount of fruit punch is ²⁷⁄₁₀ L. She buys another 2L of fruit punch. At most, she can fill 2 more glasses with the same amount of fruit punch as before.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the amount of fruit punch that Miss Shiva pours into the glasses. She pours 2 ³⁄₅ L of fruit punch equally into 4 glasses, so to find the amount of fruit punch in one glass, we divide the total amount by the number of glasses: 2 ³⁄₅ ÷ 4 = ⁷⁄₁₀ L.

Next, we can find the total amount of fruit punch by multiplying the amount in one glass by the number of glasses: ⁷⁄₁₀ L x 4 = ²⁷⁄₁₀ L. So, the amount of fruit punch is ²⁷⁄₁₀ L.

To find how many more glasses Miss Shiva can fill with 2L of fruit punch, we divide the total amount of fruit punch by the amount in one glass: 2L ÷ ²⁷⁄₁₀ L = ⁷⁴⁄²₇ ≈ 2.74.

Therefore, Miss Shiva can fill at most 2 more glasses with the same amount of fruit punch as before.
