A bottle of maple syrup is
1011 full. When
27 of the maple syrup is poured out, there is 150 mℓ of maple syrup in the bottle. Find the capacity of the bottle in mℓ.
Fraction of the maple syrup left
= 1 -
27 =
57 Fraction of the bottle with the remaining maple syrup
=
1011 x
57 =
5077 50 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 50 = 3
Capacity of the bottle
= 77 u
= 77 x 3
= 231 mℓ
Answer(s): 231 mℓ
