A bottle contains \( \frac{8}{9} \) liters of soda. Tony has 5 of these bottles. How much soda does he have in all? Write your answer in simplest form.

To find out how much soda Tony has in total, you multiply the amount of soda in one bottle by the number of bottles he has. So, it’s \( 5 \times \frac{8}{9} \) liters. Calculating this, you get: \[ 5 \times \frac{8}{9} = \frac{40}{9} \] This fraction is already in its simplest form. Therefore, Tony has \( \frac{40}{9} \) liters of soda, which is approximately 4.44 liters.
