Answer 1

21

Explanation:

`(x)/(6)=(7)/(2) \\x=21`

Answer 2

• 21 glasses

------------------------------

Let the number of glasses be g.

Then g glasses can be filled with 3 1/2 bottles of water.

Set up equation to represent this and solve for g:

• (1/6)g = 3 1/2
• (1/6)g = 7/2
• g = 7/2 : 1/6
• g = 7/2 * 6
• g = 7*3
• g = 21
