Question

Mrs brown used 3 3/4 liters of water to completely fill 3 water bottles.If each water bottle holds the same amount, how many liters of water does each bottle hold.

Answer 1

Each bottle could hold
`(5)/(4)\ liters` of water.

Explanation:

Given:

Total amount of water =
`3(3)/(4)\ liters`

Now
`3(3)/(4)\ liters` can be rewritten as
`(15)/(4)\ liters.`

Total amount of water =
`(15)/(4)\ liters.`

Total number of water bottles = 3

We need to find amount of water in each bottle.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

amount of water in each bottle can be calculated by dividing Total amount of water from Total number of water bottles.

framing in equation form we get;

amount of water in each bottle =
`((15)/(4))/(3)= (15)/(4*3)=(5)/(4)\ liters`

Hence Each bottle could hold
`(5)/(4)\ liters` of water.
