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?
Answers
Ezra will be left with 5 ounces.
Ezra can fill a maximum of 250 bottles.
1/3 represents the amount of water remaining.
Given,
Each bottle of water holds 16 ounces, and he has 4,005 ounces of filtered water to divide.
To Find,
The ounces left.
The maximum bottle filled.
The amount of remaining water.
Solution,
Firstly, we will find the number of bottles filled,
We have to divide the Total number of ounces by the cost of one bottle.
= 4005 ÷ 16
on Dividing, we get,
= 250.31.
The maximum number of bottles filled is 250, and the Remainder is .31
Now, we will find the number of ounces left,
We will multiply 250 by 16 and then subtract it by 4005
= 250 × 16
= 4000 ounces.
On subtracting, we get,
= 4005 - 4000
= 5 ounces.
Now, we will find the fraction of water remaining,
we will divide the remainder 31 by the cost of one bottle,
= 31 ÷ 16
On dividing, we get,
= 1/3.
Ezra will be left with 5 ounces.
Ezra can fill a maximum of 250 bottles.
1/3 represents the amount of water remaining.
