Quinn has 6 bottles of water that each weigh \large \frac{3}{5} pound. What is the total weight of the water bottles?

Answer 1

3.6 pounds. You’re welcome

Answer 2

3.6 pounds

Explanation:

If 1 bottle weighs 3/5 pounds

the 6 bottles will weigh 6 x 3/5

= 18/5

ratio method :

1:3/5

6:x

since the ratios are direct we can cross multiply

18/5 = 1x

so the 6 bottles weigh 18/5 pounds or 3.6 pounds
