Question

A full glass of water can hold 1/8 of a bottle.

Answer 1

5 1/2 bottles of water can fill 44 cups.

Step by Step Explanation:

First, lets start by making 5 1/2 an improper fraction. It would look something like this $\frac{11}{2}$

From here, lets multiply it by $\frac{4}{4}$ so it's a number over an eighth so it's easier to understand. From this, we get: $\frac {44}{8}$

Since we know that 1/8 of a bottle fills a cup, we can divide 44/8 by 1/8 to get us 44 full cups.
