Question

Clearing up after the party I found two pop bottles which were full, two which were one third full, two which were half full, two which were one third empty, two which were half empty, and two which were completely empty. How many bottles did I find altogether?

Answer 1

Answer:

12 bottles, 6 altogether full bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

2 bottles were full. that's 2

two were 1/3 full. 1/3 plus 1/3 is 2/3.

two were half full. 1/2 plus 1/2 is 1 full bottle.

two were 1/3 empty which means they were 2/3 full. 2/3 + 2/3 equals 4/3 (or 1 1/3)

two were half empty, which means they were half full. 1/2 +1/2 is 1 full bottle. two were completely empty.

if you want to find the number of bottles, 2+2+2+2+2+2= 12. you found 12 bottles.

but if you want to find how many FULL bottles you found, technically you found 2. but if you want to find how many were full altogether, you found 2+2/3+1+1+1/3+1

that equals 6 full bottles

Answer 2

Answer:

12 bottles in total, and 6 of them are full.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the given information, there are 12 bottles in total.

To determine the number of full bottles, we can break it down step-by-step:

• 2 bottles are completely full.

• 2 bottles are 1/3 full, so when you add them together, you get 2/3 of a bottle.
• 2 bottles are half full, so when you add them together, you get 1 full bottle.
• 2 bottles are 1/3 empty, which means they are 2/3 full. When you add them together, you get 4/3 of a bottle (or 1 1/3).
• 2 bottles are half empty, which means they are half full. When you add them together, you get 1 full bottle.
• 2 bottles are completely empty.

Therefore, if we want to find the number of full bottles altogether, we add up the full bottles we found: 2 + 2/3 + 1 + 1 + 1/3 + 1 = 6 full bottles.

In summary, there are 12 bottles in total, and 6 of them are full.
