Math Problem Statement
A scientist has 3/4 of a bottle solution. She used 1/6 of the solution in an experiment. How much of the bottle did she use?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to find out how much of the solution the scientist used from the portion available. The scientist has of a bottle, and she used of this amount.
To find out how much of the bottle she used, we multiply these two fractions:
Now, let's perform the multiplication:
We can simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (which is 3):
So, the scientist used of the entire bottle.
Summary:
The scientist used of the bottle in the experiment.

- If the bottle originally contains 500 ml, how much solution did the scientist use?
- What fraction of the remaining solution would be used if another is taken?
- How many times can the scientist use of the remaining solution?
- How much solution would be left if the scientist used another of the bottle?
Tip: When multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Then, simplify if possible.
