Question

Jenny's math class is learning about fractions. The teacher has placed several partially filled water bottles on her desk. The number of bottles and amount of water each one is filled with is shown below.



How much water will be in each bottle if the total amount of water is equally divided among the bottles?

Answer 1

problem #35 http://www.lincolnps.org/centralelementary/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/5th-Gr.-Study-Island-G5_SUMMER_MATH_P2.pdf

the dot plot tells us that there are:
1 bottle, filled with 1/4 L
4 bottles, filled with 1/2 L each
1 bottle, filled with 3/4 L

for each row, multiply the # of bottles with the amt. filled per bottle. then add up the products to get the total amount of water.

then, divide the total by 6 (since there are 6 total bottles) to find the amt. of water in each bottle if all water is distributed equally
