How many cups of water are in a water bottle

1.25 cups will fill each bottle

If 5 5/8 cups of water fill 4 1/2 identical water bottles, this can be expressed as;

• 5.625cups of water = 4.5 bottles

To get the number of cups that will fill each bottle, this will give:

• x = 1 bottle

Divide both expressions

5.625/x = 4.5/1

4.5x = 5.625

x = 5.625/4.5

x = 1.25

Hence 1.25 cups will fill each bottle
