In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.
Step 01:
Data
total ketchup = 8 3/4 gallons
bottles = 2
ketchup in each bottle = ?
Step 02:
[tex]8\text{ + }\frac{3}{4}=\frac{32+3}{4}=\frac{35}{4}[/tex][tex]\frac{\frac{35}{4}}{\frac{2}{1}}=\frac{35\cdot1}{4\cdot2}=\frac{35}{8}[/tex]The answer is:
Edmond put 35/8 gallons of ketchup in each bottle.
