    larger cooler can hold 75/2

    smaller cooler can hold 15/2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    L for larger cooler

    S for smaller cooler

    L=5S

    L+S=45

    substitute 5S in L

    5S+S=45

    6S=45

    divide both sides by 6

    S=45/6

    Divide by 3

    S=15/2

    now plug 15/6 in L=5S

    L=5 (15/6)

    L = 75/2
