Complete Question

A water bottle holds Fraction 5 over 8 liter of water when it is Fraction 3 over 4 full.

Which statement best describes the quotient of 5 over 8division sign3 over 4?

a) The maximum amount of water the bottle can hold is Fraction 6 over 5 liters.

b) The amount of water that can be still poured in the bottle is Fraction 5 over 6 liter.

c) The amount of water that can be still poured in the bottle is Fraction 6 over 5 liters.

d) the maximum amount of water that the bottle can hold is Fraction 5 over 6 liter.

Answer:

d) the maximum amount of water that the bottle can hold is Fraction 5 over 6 liter.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told:

A water bottle holds Fraction 5 over 8 liter of water

Mathematically = 5/8 Liters

when it is Fraction 3 over 4 full.

Mathematically = 3/4

Which statement best describes the quotient of 5 over 8division sign3 over 4

The above statement is expressed mathematically as:

= 5/8 ÷ 3/4

= 5/8 / 3/4

Hence, this is calculated as:

= 5/8 × 4/3

= 20/24

= 5/6

Therefore, the statement that best describes this is option d) the maximum amount of water that the bottle can hold is Fraction 5 over 6 liter.
