How many containers does she need?
Number of container:
1 cup of rubbing alcohol:
1 cup of rubbing alcohol = 1 ÷ 1/2
1 cup of rubbing alcohol=2
Cup of alcohol needed:
Cup of alcohol needed = 1 + 1/2 + 16
Cup of alcohol needed = 17.5 cups
Total cups:
Total cups = 17.5 × 2
Total cups = 35 cups
Number of containers needed:
Number of container = 1 + 35/5
Number of container = 1 + 7
Number of container= 8 containers
Therefore, a total of 8 containers are needed.
