Question

Ype the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar.

A science lab has several beakers containing different amounts of the same liquid, as shown in the line plot.


If all the liquid from the beakers is poured into one empty container that can hold exactly 4 liters, how much more liquid can the container hold?
liter(s)

Answer 1

4/8 or 1/2

Explanation:

Convert all size to x/8

1/4=2/8 and 1/2=4/8

Multiply size of beaker by how many there are filled

1/8 * 2= 2/8

2/8*7= 14/8

4/8*3 =12/8

then add all of them together = 28/8

convert 4 liters to 32/8

Subtract 32/8 - 28/8 = 4/8
