Question

Eight crates of drinks containing 20 bottles each were taken on a picnic. If 144 bottles were consumed, what fraction of bottles was returned full?

Answer 1

Answer:

THE FRACTION IS   1  

                                  10

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN : One crate has 20 bottles and there are 8 such crates.

FIND : The fraction of full returned bottles if 144 are consumed.

SOLUTION : Total no.of full bottles = 20×8 = 160

So, total full bottles to be returned =  160-144 = 16

∴ The fraction of bottle to be returned = No. of full bottle to return

                                                                           Total no. of bottles

                                                                   =     16   =     1  

                                                                        160         10
