His little sister's birthday is next week, so Vincent is planning a bubble-themed birthday party! He buys a big bottle of bubble solution and divides it equally among 6 small bottles. Each small bottle holds \( \frac{1}{8} \) of a gallon of bubble solution. Use an equation to find the amount of bubble solution in the big bottle. To write a fraction, use a slash (/) to separate the numerator and denominator. gallon

To find the amount of bubble solution in the big bottle, you can use the equation: Amount in big bottle = Number of small bottles × Amount in each small bottle. Since there are 6 small bottles and each holds \( \frac{1}{8} \) of a gallon, the equation will be: Amount in big bottle = 6 × \( \frac{1}{8} \). To solve this, you multiply: \[ 6 × \frac{1}{8} = \frac{6}{8} \text{ gallons}. \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{3}{4} \text{ gallons}. \] So, the big bottle holds \( \frac{3}{4} \) gallons of bubble solution!
