# Barrels

Peter has 42 barrels. One-sixth of them are filled with lemonade, one third is filled with wine and half is empty. Calculate how many barrels are with each filling.

Result

a =  7
b =  14
c =  21

#### Solution:

$n=42 \ \\ a=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 6 } \cdot \ n=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 6 } \cdot \ 42=7$
$b=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 3 } \cdot \ n=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 3 } \cdot \ 42=14$
$c=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 } \cdot \ n=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 } \cdot \ 42=21 \ \\ x=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 6 } + \dfrac{ 1 }{ 3 } + \dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 }=1$
