Question

Bmle can drink (3)/(4) of a pitcher of milk in (1)/(3) minute. How much time will it toke if Bryle drinks the milk unti it is empty?

Answer 1

To find how much time it will take for Bryle to drink the milk until it is empty, set up a proportion and solve for x. The time it will take is 4/9 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much time it will take for Bryle to drink the milk until it is empty, we need to find the amount of milk that is in the pitcher. Since Bryle can drink (3)/(4) of the pitcher in (1)/(3) minute, we can set up a proportion to find the time it will take to drink the entire pitcher:

(3)/(4) of the pitcher --> (1)/(3) minute

1 pitcher --> x minutes (what we want to find)

By cross multiplying, we get (3)/(4)x = (1)/(3).

Multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of (3)/(4), which is (4)/(3), we get:

(4)/(3) * (3)/(4)x = (4)/(3) * (1)/(3)

x = 4/9 minutes.
