Answer 1

Answer:

The first bottle holds 10 ounces of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottle holds z ounces.

The second bottle holds 16 ounces, which is 8/5 times the first, which is z.

How much water does the first bottle holds?

$\frac{8z}{5} = 16$

$8z = 16*5$

$8z = 80$

$z = \frac{80}{8}$

$z = 10$

The first bottle holds 10 ounces of water.
