Question

Gavin drank 3/4 of a liter of orange juice from the container, which was 3/8 of the orange juice that was originally in the container. How much orange juice was originally in the container?​

Answer 1

Originally there were 2 liters.

Explanation:

--

3/8 of the orange juice = 3/4 liter

1/8 of the orange juice = 3/4 ÷ 3

1/8 of the orange juice = 3/4 x 1/3

1/8 of the orange juice = 1/4 liter

Find 8/8, which is one whole.

1/8 of the orange juice = 1/4 liter

8/8 of the orange juice = 1/4 x 8

8/8 of the orange juice = 2 liters

There were originally 2 liters of orange juice in the container
