Question

4. Nine fruit juice bottles contain 4 1/2 litres of fruit juice between them.

Answer 1

Answer:

2$\frac{1}{2}$ litres or 2.5 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, 9 fruit juice bottles contain 4$\frac{1}{2}$ litres of fruit juice. Therefore, to find how many litres of fruit juice would be contained in 5 fruit juice bottles, you multiply 5 by 4$\frac{1}{2}$ litres and you divide the product by 9.

i.e. Let the quantity of the fruit juice for 5 bottles be x.

9 juice bottles ===> 4$\frac{1}{2}$ litres

5 juice bottles ===> x

∴x = $\frac{5 * 4\frac{1}{2} }{9} litres$

x = $\frac{5 * 4.5}{9} litres$

x = $\frac{22.5}{9} litres$

x = 2.5 litres or 2$\frac{1}{2}$ litres

Hope this helps!!!
