When you add a positive and a negative like you did here it basically is the same as subtracting 5 from 3

Because 5-3=2, so 5 is negative the 2 has to be negative because 5 is bigger than 3. Hope this helps!

How many 1 1/2 liter bottles of water does it take to fill a 16 liter jug

timurjin [86]

11 bottles are needed to fill a 16 liter jug

Solution:

Given that, there is a 16 liter jug

There are $1\frac{1}{2}$ liters of bottle

Let us first convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator.

Then write the result on top of the denominator.

$\rightarrow 1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 1 + 1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5$

Thus the bottle is of 1.5 liter

We have to find the number of 1.5 liter bottles needed to fill 16 liter jug

Divide 16 by 1.5 to get result

$Number\ Of\ Bottles = \frac{16}{1.5} = 10.67 \approx11$

Thus 11 bottles are needed to fill a 16 liter jug
