The cube root of 2744000 is 140
Answer: the small bottle holds 15 ounces while the large bottle holds 23 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of ounces that a small bottle holds.
Let y represent the number of ounces that a large bottle holds.
He drank 2 small bottles and 2 large bottles, for a total of 76 ounces. It means that
2x + 2y = 76 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
The day before, he drank 4 small bottles and 1 large bottle, for a total of 83 ounces. This means that
4x + y = 83 - - - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 1, it becomes
4x + 4y = 152
4x + y = 83
Subtracting, it becomes
3y = 69
y = 69/3 = 23 ounces
Substituting y = 23 into equation 1, it becomes
2x + 2 × 23 = 76
2x + 46 = 76
2x = 76 - 46 = 30
x = 30/2 = 15 ounces
You're looking for 2/9 of 3/6 which means you are solving 3/6 ÷ 2/9.
When I was in sixth grade, my teacher always said "Dividing fractions, easy as pie. Flip the second and multiply." At the time, I thought I was too old for stuff like that, but now, I'm in ninth grade, and I haven't forgotten it. If you learn one thing, learn fractions, and learn them well because they never leave.
Anyway, 3/6 ÷ 2/9 becomes 3/6 × 9/2. Another thing from my teacher: "Multiplying fractions, no big problem. Top times top over bottom times bottom." So, 3 × 9 = 27 and 6 × 2 = 12. 27/12.
To make that a mixed number, do 27 ÷ 12. 12 goes in 2 times. This is the big number in your mixed number, your coefficient. Then you have 3 left over. (12 × 2 = 24. 27 - 24 = 3.) This is your numerator. And 12 is still your denominator.
Your answer is 2 3/12, which simplifies to 2 1/4.
