Question

One bottle is half-full of oil and another bottle with twice the capacity is one quarter full of oil. If water is added so that both the bottles are full and the contents of both are then poured into a third bottle that is empty and large enough to hold the contents of both, what fractions of the contents in the third bottle is oil?

Answer 1

three by fourth of oil to water.

Answer 2

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

let the quantity of first bottle be x

                                second bottle be 2x

                                 third one is (x+2x)=3x

quantity of oil in first bottle is x/2

quantity of oil in second bottle is 2(x/4)=x/2

quantity of oil in third  bottle is (x/2+x/2)=x.

so fraction=x/3x

answer is 1/3....:)
