Question

Ezra is filling bottles of water to hand out during a race. Each bottle of water holds 16 ounces and he has 4,005 ounces of filtered water to divide.

Which fraction represents the amount of water remaining after Ezra has filled the maximum possible number of bottles?

1/2
1/50
3/16
5/16

Answer 1

She fills up 230 bottles so the last one is 1/3

Answer 2

250 bottles

Explanation:

1 bottle = 16oz (ounces)

Total = 4,005oz

(The nearest multiple to 4005 in the 16 times table is 4000) 4000÷16 = 250

250 bottles = 4000oz
