it should be 2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Number of bottles = 6
Number of cans = c
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Container for selling water :
17 oz bottle
11 oz can
Let number of bottles = b
Number of cans = c
b + c = 11 - - - (1)
17b + 11c = 157 - - - (2)
b = 11 - c
Substitute into (2)
17(11 - c) + 11c = 157
187 - 17c + 11c = 157
187 - 6c = 157
-6c = 157 - 187
-6c = -30
c = 30/6
c = 5
From ; b = 11 - c
b = 11 - 5
b = 6
Hence,
Number of bottles = 6
Number of cans = c
36 divided by 6 is like sharing 36 orranges among 6 people
a a a a a a|---------------------------1st Person
a a a a a a|---------------------------2nd Person
a a a a a a|---------------------------3rd Person
a a a a a a|---------------------------4th Person
a a a a a a|---------------------------5th Person
a a a a a a|---------------------------6th Person
Each person receives 6 oranges evenly so 36/6 = 6
I used this strategy because it is the easiest to understand
