Question

A large container has a maximum capacity of 64 ounces. The container is filled with 8 ounces less than its maximum capacity. Answer parts a and b. a To what narrant of

Answer 1

The 16-ounce container is full (100% capacity). We need to pour the liquid until it is filled at 87.5% of its capacity. We calculate the 87.5% of 16 ounces:

87.5% of 16 ounces = (87.5*16/100) ounces = 14 ounces

We conclude that when the 16-ounce container is 87.5% filled, it will contain 14 ounces. So 2 ounces will need to be poured from the full 16-ounce container.
