Question

Elena has some bottles of water that each holds 17 fluid ounces how many bottles does it take to hold 51 fluid ounces of water

Answer 1

Answer:

3 bottles will hold the given amount of water of 51 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Elena has number of bottles = x

Each bottle holds 17 ounces of fluid.

So the total amount of water = 17x ounces

Since total amount of water has been given = 51 ounces

So 17x = 51

x = $\frac{51}{17}$

x = 3 bottles

Therefore, 3 bottles will hold the given amount of water of 51 ounces.

Answer 2

51/17 = 3
If each bottle holds 17 ounces, then 3 bottles will hold 51 ounces.
