Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If we were to divide 40 by 7 1/2, or 7.5, we could see how many "FULL" glasses there would be.
We will take the whole number. Lets divide:
40/7.5 = 5.33
So, there would be "5" full glasses of 7.5 ounces each. How much would that hold (cover)?
5 * 7.5 oz = 37.5 oz
Remaining is 40 - 37.5 = 2.5 oz
So, the last glass (which has capacity of 7.5 oz) would hold 2.5 oz. What fraction is this??
We simply divide 2.5 with full capacity of 7.5, that would be:
[tex]\frac{2.5}{7.5}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Hence, the last glass would be [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] full
