Question

$\text{A measuring cup can hold}\frac{1}{4}L\text{of water.}\text{The number of cups needed to fill a}\frac{6}{8}L\text{bottle is}$

• A. 4
• B. 3
• C. 1
• D. 2

Answer 1

The correct option is B 3

Given:
$\text{Capacity of the water bottle}=\frac{6}{8}L$
$\text{Capacity of the measuring cup}=\frac{1}{4}L$

$\text{Now, the fraction}\frac{6}{8}\text{can be represented as:}$


$\text{So, the capacity of the water bottle is}\frac{3}{4}L$.

But,
$\frac{3}{4}L=3\times \frac{1}{4}L$

So,
$\therefore$ The number of cups needed to fill the bottle is 3.
