Answer:

16 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

First we are told that a container has a capacity of 16 ounces of liquid and therefore 16 ounces of liquid can fill that one container

The 16 ounces liquid from the 16 ounce container is fully emptied in a larger container and fills 87.5% of the larger container therefore the larger container is:

100/87.5×16 ounces= 18.285 ounces in liquid capacity

Therefore to fill the smaller 16 ounce container, the larger container would have to pour 16 ounces of liquid into the smaller container, and would would still have 18.285-16=2.285 ounces if it(the larger container) were filled to the brim(100%)

How do you divide $306 into the ratio of 9:5:3? Can someone give me some advice on how to solve this problem?
GarryVolchara [31]
In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.

9x + 5x + 3x = 306

Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.

17x = 306

Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.

x = 18

However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.

9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54

You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.

Your final ratio is 162:90:54.

Hope this helps! :)

It takes Joey 1/16 of an hour to write one Thank You card. How many cards can he write in 3/4 of an hour?
Naddik [55]
The answer would be 12 cards. If you convert 3/4 into 12/16, it tells you automatically that Joey made 12 cards, since it takes him 1/16 of an hour to write one.
Hope this helps!
