Question

In a laboratory, a chemist puts $fraction numerator 9 over denominator 4 end fraction$ gallons of liquid in 8 beakers with equal measures. How much liquid is there in one beaker?

$\frac{8}{36}$
$\frac{72}{4}$
$\frac{9}{32}$
$\frac{1}{32}$

hint Hint:

To find the liquid in each beaker, we divide the total liquid amount by the number of beakers to be filled.

The correct answer is: $fraction numerator 9 over denominator 32 end fraction$

Total amount of liquid in a laboratory = $fraction numerator 9 over denominator 4 end fraction$ gallons
Number of beakers to be filled = 8
Liquid in each beaker = $fraction numerator 9 over denominator 4 end fraction divided by 8$
$equals fraction numerator 9 over denominator 4 end fraction cross times fraction numerator 1 over denominator 8 end fraction open parentheses text reciprocal of 8 is end text fraction numerator 1 over denominator 8 end fraction close parentheses$
$equals fraction numerator 9 cross times 1 over denominator 4 cross times 8 end fraction equals fraction numerator 9 over denominator 32 end fraction$ gallons
Therefore, the liquid in each beaker is $9 over 32$ gallons.
