Question

Chamberlin wants to bottle 1\8 of her apple cider. She pours the apple cider evenly among 6 bottles. What fraction of her apple cider will she put in each bottle? What expression could represent this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) $\frac{1}{48}$ of her apple cider.

b) $6x=\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's call the amount of her apple cider she will put in each bottle: $x$

2. You know that she wants to bottle 1\8 of her apple cider and she pours it among 6 bottles.  

3. Therefore, keeping the information above on mind, you can write the following expression:

$6x=\frac{1}{8}$

4. When you solve for x, you obtain the following result:

 $x=\frac{1}{8*6}=\frac{1}{48}$
