The maximum amount of water the bottle can hold is Fraction 6 over 5 liters. The amount of water that can be still poured in the bottle is Fraction 5 over 6 liter. The amount of water that can be still poured in the bottle is Fraction 6 over 5 liters. the maximum amount of water that the bottle can hold is Fraction 5 over 6 liter.
