Question

A scientist had 3/4 of a bottle of a solution. She used 1/6 of the solution in an experiment. How much of the bottle did she use?

Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A scientist had $\dfrac{3}{4}$ of a bottle of a solution.

The part of the solution she used in the experiment :  $\dfrac{1}{6}$

The part of bottle she used is given by : -

$\dfrac{1}{6}\timers\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{1\times3}{6\times4}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{8}$

Hence, she used $\dfrac{1}{8}$ of the bottle .

Answer 2

To work this out you need to multiply 3/4 by 1/6.
=3/24
=1/8
