Question

A full glass of water can hold 1/8 of a bottle.

How many glasses of water can be filled with 5 1/2 bottles of water?

Answer 1

5 1/2 bottles of water can fill 44 cups.

Step by Step Explanation:

First, lets start by making 5 1/2 an improper fraction. It would look something like this
`(11)/(2)`

From here, lets multiply it by
`(4)/(4)` so it's a number over an eighth so it's easier to understand. From this, we get:
`\frac {44}{8}`

Since we know that 1/8 of a bottle fills a cup, we can divide 44/8 by 1/8 to get us 44 full cups.
