Question

Mr. Cooper has 8 1/4 ounces of a chemical solution. He will put an equal amount of the solution into 3 test tubes. How much solution will be in each test tube?

Answer 1

`V=2(3)/(4)\ \text{ounces}`

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mr. Cooper has 8 1/4 ounces of a chemical solution.

He will put an equal amount of the solution into 3 test tubes. We need to find the amount of solution in each test tube. It can be done by dividing total volume and 3.

`V=(8(1)/(4))/(3)\\\\V=(33)/(4* 3)\\\\V=(11)/(4\ )\ \text{ounces}\\\\\text{or}\\\\V=2(3)/(4)\ \text{ounces}`

So, the volume in each test tube is
`2(3)/(4)\ \text{ounces}`.
