Explanation:

Answer 2

The first bottle hold 6 quarts of water.

Solving word problems.

Solving word problems involves writing of problems in mathematical convention by using the appropriate form.

From the information given:

• The second bottle is 1/3 rd full
• The first bottle is half full

Suppose we represent the capacity of the first bottle with w.

Then the capacity of the second bottle as 1/3 of w expressed in 2 quarts.

Then ;

`(1)/(3)w=2`

w = 3 × 2

w = 6

Therefore, we can conclude that the first bottle hold 6 quarts of water.
