Question

Mrs brown used 3 3/4 liters of water to completely fill 3 water bottles.If each water bottle holds the same amount, how many liters of water does each bottle hold.

Answer 1

Answer:

Each bottle could hold $\frac{5}{4}\ liters$ of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total amount of water = $3\frac{3}{4}\ liters$

Now $3\frac{3}{4}\ liters$ can be rewritten as $\frac{15}{4}\ liters.$

Total amount of water = $\frac{15}{4}\ liters.$

Total number of water bottles = 3

We need to find amount of water in each bottle.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

amount of water in each bottle can be calculated by dividing Total amount of water from Total number of water bottles.

framing in equation form we get;

amount of water in each bottle = $\frac{\frac{15}{4}}{3}= \frac{15}{4\times3}=\frac{5}{4}\ liters$

Hence Each bottle could hold $\frac{5}{4}\ liters$ of water.
