Answer:
The first bottle holds 10 ounces of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
The bottle holds z ounces.
The second bottle holds 16 ounces, which is 8/5 times the first, which is z.
How much water does the first bottle holds?
[tex]\frac{8z}{5} = 16[/tex]
[tex]8z = 16*5[/tex]
[tex]8z = 80[/tex]
[tex]z = \frac{80}{8}[/tex]
[tex]z = 10[/tex]
The first bottle holds 10 ounces of water.
