Basically it is asking you to solve this equation for b:
$$\frac{7}{8}L=\frac{5}{6}b$$

The answer will be "some fraction" times L = 1 bottle

Oh so it is just a simple proportion?

Yup.

They try to throw you off with the weird fractions, but ultimately it's just proportion.

The wording confused me.

So the answer would be 1 $$1\frac{ 1 }{ 20 }?$$

mathteacher1729 · Answer

Yup. That's it.

Oh Thank you. I thought that was the answer but wasn't 100% sure
