Answer:
4 bottles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Fertilizer = \frac{1}{2}L[/tex]
[tex]Bottles = \frac{1}{8}L[/tex]
Required
Determine the number of bottles
Represent the number of bottles with N
This implies that N bottles of [tex]\frac{1}{8}L[/tex] fit into [tex]\frac{1}{2}L[/tex] of fertilizer. The relationship between them is:
[tex]Fertilizer = Bottles * N[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2}L = \frac{1}{8}L* N[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}* N[/tex]
Multiply through by 8
[tex]8 * \frac{1}{2} = 8 * \frac{1}{8}* N[/tex]
[tex]4 = 1* N[/tex]
[tex]4 = N[/tex]
[tex]N = 4[/tex]
Hence, there are N = 4
