Charlie is helping refill ketchup bottles at his uncle's diner. He has a huge container with 2 gallons of ketchup, which he distributes evenly among 15 bottles. How much ketchup goes in each bottle? Write your answer as a proper fraction or mixed number.

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 2/15 gallons per bottle

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total volume of ketchup V = 2 gallons

Number of bottles N = 15

The amount of ketchup per bottle A;

A = total volume of ketchup ÷ number of bottles

A = V/N

Substituting the values;

A = 2gallons ÷ 15bottles

A = 2/15 gallons per bottle
