Question

Bottle contains 64 fluid ounces of syrup. Each day, you use 3 1/5 fluid ounces of syrup from the bottle. Is there enough syrup in the bottle for 25 days?

Answer 1

Given:

Total syrup = 64 fluid ounces

Syrup used each day =
`3(1)/(5)` fluid ounces

To find:

Whether there is enough syrup in the bottle for 25 days or not.

Solution:

According to the question,

Requirement of syrup for 1 day
`=3(1)/(5)` fluid ounces

`=(3* 5+1)/(5)` fluid ounces

`=(16)/(5)` fluid ounces

Requirement of syrup for 25 day
`=25* (16)/(5)` fluid ounces

`=(400)/(5)` fluid ounces

`=80` fluid ounces

Syrup required for 25 days is 80 fluid ounces which is greater than 64 fluid ounces.

Therefore, 64 fluid ounces of syrup is not enough for 25 days.
