Question

Olivia took out 8 glasses and poured juice from the pitcher. The capacity of each glass is 3/10 liter. If there was enough juice for only 6 glasses, how much juice was there?

a. 1.8 liters
b. 2.4 liters
c. 2.6 liters
d. 3.2 liters

Answer 1

Olivia had 1.8 liters of juice since she could fill only 6 glasses and each glass has a capacity of 3/10 liter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Olivia is trying to find out how much juice she has if each glass has a capacity of 3/10 liter and there is enough juice to fill only 6 glasses. To solve this, you multiply the capacity of one glass by the number of glasses she was able to fill.

The calculation is as follows:

• (3/10 liter/glass) × 6 glasses = 18/10 liters
• 18/10 liters can be simplified to 1.8 liters.

Therefore, Olivia had 1.8 liters of juice, which corresponds to answer choice a.
