Answer:
20 bottles
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of bottles
5
Simplify —
4
Equation at the end of step 2 :
5 6
(w - — ) - — = 0
4 7
Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 4 as the denominator :
w w • 4
w = — = —————
1 4
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
w • 4 - (5) (4w - 5
)
——————————— = ——————
4 4
Equation at the end of step 3 :
(4w - 5) 6
———————— - — = 0
4 7
