Colin has several bottles of water. each bottle of water holds 3 cups. during the day, he drinks 7 cups of water. how many bottles of water did colin drink during the day? 1 bottles 2 bottles 3 bottles 4 bottles

Divide total cups he drank by the # of cups in each bottle.

7 ÷ 3= 2.3333

Since each bottle only holds 3 cups, he drank 3 bottles of water. He didn't drink all the water in the third bottle, but he started drinking the third bottle.

ANSWER: 3 bottles
