Question

A bottle contains 5/9 liters of soda. Keisha has 3 of these bottles.

Answer 1

Answer: 1 2/3 Liters

Step-by-step explanation:

• Create the equation

The equation is going to be the amount of soda, multiplied by the amount of bottles Keisha has

5/9 x 3/1 (3/1 is equivalent to having 3 or 1+1+1)

• Solve

We are going to multiple the numbers, numerator by numerator, and denominator by denominator since we do not need to add or subtract

1. Numerator= 5x3=15
2. Denominator= 9x1=9

Your improper awnser would be 15/9

DO NOT STOP HERE THIS IS NOT THE SIMPLEST FORM

• Create the simplest mixed number

15/9 is equal to 15 divided by 9

we can fit 1 9 in 15 without going over

1 ?/15

15-9=6

1 6/9

• Simplify

6 and 9 are both divisible by 3

6 divided by 3 = 2

9  divided by 3 = 3

1 6/9=1 2/3

• Awnser and add your units

1 2/3 is the simpelest form, this can not be further divided.
