Answer:
2[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] litres or 2.5 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, 9 fruit juice bottles contain 4[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] litres of fruit juice. Therefore, to find how many litres of fruit juice would be contained in 5 fruit juice bottles, you multiply 5 by 4[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] litres and you divide the product by 9.
i.e. Let the quantity of the fruit juice for 5 bottles be x.
9 juice bottles ===> 4[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] litres
5 juice bottles ===> x
∴x = [tex]\frac{5 * 4\frac{1}{2} }{9} litres[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{5 * 4.5}{9} litres[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{22.5}{9} litres[/tex]
x = 2.5 litres or 2[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] litres
Hope this helps!!!
