Given:
Total syrup = 64 fluid ounces
Syrup used each day = [tex]3\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] fluid ounces
To find:
Whether there is enough syrup in the bottle for 25 days or not.
Solution:
According to the question,
Requirement of syrup for 1 day [tex]=3\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] fluid ounces
[tex]=\dfrac{3\times 5+1}{5}[/tex] fluid ounces
[tex]=\dfrac{16}{5}[/tex] fluid ounces
Requirement of syrup for 25 day [tex]=25\times \dfrac{16}{5}[/tex] fluid ounces
[tex]=\dfrac{400}{5}[/tex] fluid ounces
[tex]=80[/tex] fluid ounces
Syrup required for 25 days is 80 fluid ounces which is greater than 64 fluid ounces.
Therefore, 64 fluid ounces of syrup is not enough for 25 days.
