Answer:

!2 bottles

Explanation:

Given

$8\ bottles = 13\ litre \\$

Required:

Number of bottles for 18.5 liters

Represent this with x.

So:

$8\ bottles = 13\ litre$

$x = 18.5\ litre$

Cross Multiply

$x * 13 = 8\ bottles * 18.5$

$x * 13 = 148\ bottles$

$x = (148)/(13)\ bottles$

$x = 11.4\ bottles$

Hence, she needs 12 bottles
