how many 2/3L bottles can i completely fill from a 40L tank of water?
40 / (2/3) = ?
40 / (2/3)
To find the number of 2/3L bottles that can be filled from a 40L tank of water, you need to divide the total volume of the water (40L) by the volume of each bottle (2/3L).
The calculation can be done as follows:
40L ÷ (2/3)L
To divide by a fraction, you can multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2. Thus, the calculation becomes:
40L × (3/2)
To multiply a whole number with a fraction, you can multiply the whole number with the numerator and keep the denominator the same.
40 × (3/2) = 40 × 3 / 2 = 120 / 2 = 60
Therefore, you can completely fill 60 bottles of 2/3L from a 40L tank of water.
