Answer 1

Answer:

$\bold{3\dfrac{1}{2 }}$ full glasses of water the bowl holds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Full glass of water holds $1\frac{1}{3}$ cups of water.

Full bowl of water holds $4\frac{2}{3}$ cups of water.

To find:

How many full glasses of water does the bowl hold ?

Solution:

Let us convert the unit of cups of water to glass of water.

Given that

$1\frac{1}{3}$ or $\frac{4}{3}$ cups of water is equivalent to 1 full glass of water

Now, let us use unitary method to find the answer.

$\frac{4}{3}$ cups of water is equivalent to 1 full glass of water

1 cups of water is equivalent to $\frac{3}{4}$ full glass of water

$4\frac{2}{3}$ or $\frac{14}{4}$ cups of water is equivalent to $\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{14}3 = \frac{14}{4}$ full glass of water

$\dfrac{14}{4} = \dfrac{7}{2} = \bold{3\dfrac{1}{2}}$ full glass of water is the quantity the bowl holds.
