Question

How many 1/3 liters are in 4 2/3 liters

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

This is a division problem.

We want to find how many 1/3 liters are in 4⅔ liters.

We divide to obtain:

`(4 (2)/(3) )/( (1)/(3) )`

Or

`4 (2)/(3) / (1)/(3)`

Convert to improper fraction.

`(14)/(3) / (1)/(3)`

`(14)/(3) * (3)/(1)`

This simplifies to

`14`

Therefore there are fourteen ⅓ liters in 4⅔ liters
