Four cups of water are to be poured into a 2-cup bottle and a 4-cup bottle. If each bottle is to be filled to the same fraction of its capacity, how many cups of water should be poured into the 4-cup bottle?
Answer/Solution
8/3
Steps/Work
Let x be the # of cups going into the 4 cup bottle.
so.... x/4 = ((4-x)/2)
16 - 4x = 2x
16 = 6x
x = 8/3.
Answer : B
so.... x/4 = ((4-x)/2)
16 - 4x = 2x
16 = 6x
x = 8/3.
Answer : B
