Answer 1

Answer:

9 Bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of sand bought by Hira=

$2 \frac{1}{4 } = \frac{9}{4} kg$

Amount of sand filled in each bottle=

$\frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4} kg$

So maximum number ofbottles can be filled=

$\frac{9}{4} \div \frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{4}{1} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: (reciprocal \: due \: to \: frction)$

$\frac{36}{4} = 9 \: bottles$
