A certain size bottle holds exactly 4/5 pint of liquid. How many of these bottles can be filled from a 20-pint container?
To find out how many of these bottles can be filled from a 20-pint container, we need to divide the total capacity of the container by the capacity of each bottle.
Given that the bottle holds exactly 4/5 pint of liquid, we can set up the following equation:
Number of bottles = Total capacity of the container / Capacity of each bottle
Total capacity of the container = 20 pints
Capacity of each bottle = 4/5 pint
Dividing the total capacity (20 pints) by the capacity of each bottle (4/5 pint), we can simplify the division by multiplying the total capacity by the reciprocal of the capacity of each bottle:
Number of bottles = 20 pints * (5/4)
Number of bottles = 100/4
Number of bottles = 25
Therefore, you can fill 25 bottles from a 20-pint container.
