Our large water bottle holds 25 L of water correct to the nearest litre. A drinking glass holds .3 L correct to the nearest .1 L calculate the lower bound for the number of glasses of water which can be filled from the bottle
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Lower bound means the fewest number of glasses of water.
To get that , we need the smallest possible capacity of water bottle and biggest possible capacity of drinking glass.
Smallest possible capacity of water bottle = 24.5 litres
Biggest possible capacity of drinking glass = 0.34 litres
Lower bound for drinking glasses = 24.5/ 0.34
= 72.05
= 73
Answer: 70
Step-by-step explanation:-
A large bottle of water = 25 liters
*correct (estimate) to the nearest liter
Lower Bound = 24.5 liters
Upper Bound = 25.5 liters
A large drinking glass = 0.3 liters
*correct (estimate) to the nearest 0.1 liter
Lower Bound = 0.25 liters
Upper Bound = 0.35 liters
Now, lower bound means the lowest we can go to...
So,
Lower Bound of the number of glasses of water which can be filled:-
= Bottle's LB/ Glass's UB
= 24.5/0.35
= 245/10 / 35/100
= 245/10 x 100/35
= 7 x 10
=> 70
Therefore, solved!
