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
x/5 = 6/15
15x = 30
x = 2
answer
x = 2 ft
y/10 = 6/15
15y = 60
y = 4
answer
y = 4 ft
Ok, so you automatically know that you are subtracting 6 from 10 to get 4. So, in order to figure out how it is 1/3 of that number, it is going to be multiplied by 3, getting 18. So, the number would be 18.
