Answer:

21 glasses of water

Explanation:

to do this equation we must first divide 3 1/2 by 1/6

you must make 3 1/2 into an improper fraction

that is 7/2

then you can divide

when you divide fractions the second number is flipped

so 7/2 * 6/1

this becomes 42/2

then simplified and it becomes 21

21 glasses of water can be filled with 3 1/2 bottles of water
