Four cups of milk are to be poured into a 3-cup bottle and a 4-cup bottle.
Four cups of milk are to be poured into a 3-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 milk should be poured into the 4-cup bottle?
Answer/Solution
16/7
Steps/Work
Let x be the # of cups going into the 4 cup bottle.
so.... x/4 = ((4-x)/3)
16 - 4x = 3x
16 = 7x
x = 16/7.
Answer : D.
so.... x/4 = ((4-x)/3)
16 - 4x = 3x
16 = 7x
x = 16/7.
Answer : D.
