11 bottles are needed to fill a 16 liter jug
Solution:
Given that, there is a 16 liter jug
There are [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] liters of bottle
Let us first convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction
Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.
Add that to the numerator.
Then write the result on top of the denominator.
[tex]\rightarrow 1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 1 + 1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5[/tex]
Thus the bottle is of 1.5 liter
We have to find the number of 1.5 liter bottles needed to fill 16 liter jug
Divide 16 by 1.5 to get result
[tex]Number\ Of\ Bottles = \frac{16}{1.5} = 10.67 \approx11[/tex]
Thus 11 bottles are needed to fill a 16 liter jug
