Answer:
a. 1/20 liters in each glass.
b. 50 ml in each glass.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. To find how many liters are in each glass, you have to divide the 1/4 liters by 5 glasses, because the water is poured equally.
[tex]\frac{1}{4}\:\div \frac{5}{1}[/tex]
Using the division properties of fractions:
[tex]\frac{a}{b}\div \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{d}{c} [/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{5} =\frac{1\times \:1}{4\times \:5} =\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
b. Use the rule of three to convert from liters to milliliters.
Now, multiply 1/20 l by 1000 ml and divide by 1 l to obtain x.
[tex]x =\frac{ \frac{1}{20}\times 1000 }{1} = \frac{1000}{20} = 50[/tex]
