Question

Explanation:

Step1: Count amounts of oil

There are 2 bottles with 0 cups, 2 bottles with 1 cup, 4 bottles with $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups and 1 bottle with 2 cups.

Step2: Calculate total amount of oil

\[

$$\begin{align*} &2\times0 + 2\times1+4\times1\frac{1}{2}+1\times2\\ =&0 + 2+4\times\frac{3}{2}+2\\ =&2 + 6+2\\ =&10 \end{align*}$$

\]

Step3: Divide total by number of bottles

We divide the total 10 cups by 9 bottles. $10\div9 = 1\frac{1}{9}$ cups.

Answer:

$1\frac{1}{9}$ cups
