The bottling machine at The Cider Company has a tank that holds 6,400 oz of cider the company uses 8 oz 16 oz and 64 oz bottles the tank is filled before the bottling process begins first 564 oz bottles are filled then 8016 bottles are filled how many 8 oz bottles can be filled with the remaining side explain which step in the process for finding the solution

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we first need to calculate how much cider has been used up by filling the 8 oz and 16 oz bottles.

564 oz bottles x 8 oz = 4,512 oz used
8,016 oz bottles x 16 oz = 128,256 oz used

Total used = 4,512 + 128,256 = 132,768 oz

Subtracting the total used cider from the tank's capacity:
6,400 - 132,768 = 267,232 oz remain in the tank

Next, we need to determine how many 8 oz bottles can be filled with the remaining cider:
267,232 oz / 8 oz per bottle = 33,404 bottles

Therefore, 33,404 8 oz bottles can be filled with the remaining cider. This step demonstrates the calculation necessary to determine the number of 8 oz bottles that can be filled with the remaining cider after filling the 564 oz and 8,016 oz bottles.
