Question

Nina used 3 3/4 liters of water to completely fill 3 water bottles. If the water bottles are all the same size, how many liters of water does each bottle hold?

Answer 1

To determine the amount of water each bottle holds, divide 3.75 liters (the decimal equivalent of 3 3/4 liters) by the number of bottles, resulting in 1.25 liters per bottle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nina used 3 3/4 liters of water to completely fill 3 water bottles that are the same size. To find the capacity of each water bottle, we need to divide the total amount of water by the number of bottles. Nina used 3 3/4 liters, which is equal to 3.75 liters when converted to a decimal.

To calculate the capacity of one bottle, we perform the following division:

1. Convert the mixed fraction to a decimal: 3 3/4 = 3.75 liters.
2. Divide the total liters by the number of bottles: 3.75 liters ÷ 3 bottles = 1.25 liters per bottle.

Thus, each water bottle holds 1.25 liters of water.

Answer 2

I think the answer is 1 1/4
