Answer:

Blue bottle holds more.

Explanation:

Given:

Green Bottle = 8 3/5 = 43/5

Blue Bottle = 8 6/7 = 62/7

Now:

we can write 43/45 as;

43/5 x 7/7 = 301/35 (1)

similarly, 62/7 = 62/7 x 5/5 = 310/35 (2)

Comparing both (1) and (2),

301/35 < 310/35

:. (301 < 310)

Hence,

Blue Bottle will hold more.
