About what fraction of the cup is filled with liquid b. About how many cups of liqiud are in the dispencer c. About what fraction of the dispencer is empty d. About how many more cups of liquid does it take to fill the cup

Answer 1

a) 2/3

b) 80 cups

c) 1/3

d) 40 cups

Explanation:

Fraction of a full dispenser = 1

a. About what fraction of the cup is filled with liquid

= 1 - 1/3

= 2/3

b. About how many cups of liqiud are in the dispenser

We have 120 cups.of liquid that the dispenser contains

Hence,

= 2/3 × 120

= 2 × 40

= 80 cups

c. About what fraction of the dispenser is empty

= 1 - Fraction of liquid currently in the dispenser

= 1 - 2/3

= 1/3

d. About how many more cups of liquid does it take to fill the cup

= 1/3 × 120

= 40 cups

It will take 40 cups to fill the dispenser
