Question

How many 3 2/3 ounce bottles of perfume can be filled from a jug containing 64 ounces?

Answer 1

24 bottles would fill the jug

Explanation:

Given

`Bottles = 3(2)/(3)`

`Jug = 64`

Required

Determine the number of bottles in a jug.

To do this, we simply divide the given measurements of jug and the bottle.

In other words,

`Number = (Jug)/(Bottle)`

`Number = (64)/(3(2)/(3))`

Convert fraction to improper

`Number = (64)/((8)/(3))`

`Number = 64/(8)/(3)`

`Number = 64*(3)/(8)`

`Number = 8 * 3`

`Number = 24`

Hence, 24 bottles would fill the jug
