Answer:
!2 bottles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]8\ bottles = 13\ litre \\[/tex]
Required:
Number of bottles for 18.5 liters
Represent this with x.
So:
[tex]8\ bottles = 13\ litre[/tex]
[tex]x = 18.5\ litre[/tex]
Cross Multiply
[tex]x * 13 = 8\ bottles * 18.5[/tex]
[tex]x * 13 = 148\ bottles[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{148}{13}\ bottles[/tex]
[tex]x = 11.4\ bottles[/tex]
Hence, she needs 12 bottles
