Answer: Number of water bottles a team can fill from a single watercooler = 48

Explanation:

Given: A watercooler contains 160 cups of water.

Each person on a team fills a water bottle with
3\frac13 cups of water from the cooler.

Here,
3\frac13=(10)/(3)

Now , Number of water bottles a team can fill from a single watercooler =
160/ \frac {10}3


=160*\frac3{10}\\\\=16*3=48

Hence, Number of water bottles a team can fill from a single watercooler = 48
