A bottle of juice holds 3/8 gallon when it is full. If 1/3 of the juice has been poured out, how much juice is left in the bottle?
(2/3) * (3/8) = 6/24 = 1/4 gallon
2/3 x 3/8 = 6/24 = 3/8
sorry sweet heart I meant
1/3 x 3/8 = 3/24
Thanks sweetie it's easy
3/8 × 1/3 = 3/24 = 3/8
To find out how much juice is left in the bottle, we need to subtract the amount poured out from the original amount.
First, let's convert the fraction 3/8 gallon to a fraction with a denominator of 24, so that we can easily perform the calculation.
Since 8 multiplied by 3 equals 24, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 3/8 by 3:
3/8 * 3/3 = 9/24 gallons
So, the original amount of juice in the bottle is 9/24 gallons.
Next, we need to find out how much juice has been poured out. The problem states that 1/3 of the juice has been poured out.
To calculate the amount poured out, multiply the original amount of juice by 1/3:
9/24 * 1/3 = 9/72 gallons
Now, we can find how much juice is left in the bottle by subtracting the amount poured out from the original amount:
9/24 - 9/72
To perform this subtraction, we need to find a common denominator. The least common denominator of 24 and 72 is 72.
Let's convert the fractions to have a denominator of 72:
9/24 = 27/72
9/72 (amount poured out) remains the same.
Now, subtract the two fractions:
27/72 - 9/72 = 18/72
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
18/72 = 1/4
Therefore, there is 1/4 gallon of juice left in the bottle.
