Some liquid will be poured from a 16 ounce container until it is filled to the percent of the the larger container (87.5%).How many ounces of liquid must be poured from to reach the full 16 ounce container?

16 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

First we are told that a container has a capacity of 16 ounces of liquid and therefore 16 ounces of liquid can fill that one container

The 16 ounces liquid from the 16 ounce container is fully emptied in a larger container and fills 87.5% of the larger container therefore the larger container is:

100/87.5×16 ounces= 18.285 ounces in liquid capacity

Therefore to fill the smaller 16 ounce container, the larger container would have to pour 16 ounces of liquid into the smaller container, and would would still have 18.285-16=2.285 ounces if it(the larger container) were filled to the brim(100%)

step-by-step explanation:

there is only one way to arrange all the eight relative to each other because they are not distinct. we have

now there are nine places to place an (and not more than one in one place).   because we have four symbols, we need to choose four of these nine places to insert an . order does not matter because the are not distinct.

thus there are 1 · c(9,4) ways, or, if we calculate it,

thus there are 126 ways to form such "words."
