a bottling machine filled 3 of every 8 bottles with grape juice. The bottling machine filled 144 bottles altogether. How many of these bottles were filled with grape juice?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

The machine filled 3/8 of all of the bottles with grape juice. So this simplifies down to a multiplication problem. 3/8 times your total.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm \frac{3}{8}\cdot 144\]

OpenStudy (hakunamatata34):

I think divide 3 by 144 am I wrong ??

OpenStudy (hakunamatata34):

or 144 by 3

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Ahh lemme make sure I read it correctly :) lol

zepdrix (zepdrix):

ya ya ya ya XD multiply

zepdrix (zepdrix):

144, divide it by 8, then multiply 3

OpenStudy (maddie82502):

is it 54

OpenStudy (hakunamatata34):

I got 48

zepdrix (zepdrix):

ya that sounds right c: 54. 144 total bottles filled 3 out of every 8 bottles filled would be 54 total grape.
