Question

a bottle of soft drink is two thirds full. one quarter of the drink is consumed. how full is the bottle now?

Answer 1

(2/3)(1-1/4)

(2/3)(3/4)

6/12

1/2

Answer 2

`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Amount of drink in bottle =
`(2)/(3)`

We are given that one quarter of the drink is consumed.

Amount of drink consumed =
`(1)/(4) * (2)/(3)`

=
`(1)/(6)`

Amount of drink remained in bottle =
`(2)/(3)-(1)/(6)`

Amount of drink remained in bottle =
`(1)/(2)`

So, the bottle now is
`(1)/(2)` full
