In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

total ketchup = 8 3/4 gallons

bottles = 2

ketchup in each bottle = ?

Step 02:


8\text{ + }(3)/(4)=(32+3)/(4)=(35)/(4)
((35)/(4))/((2)/(1))=(35\cdot1)/(4\cdot2)=(35)/(8)

The answer is:

Edmond put 35/8 gallons of ketchup in each bottle.
