A container of syrup is
23 full. When
16 of the syrup is poured out, there is 130 mℓ of syrup in the container. Find the capacity of the container in mℓ.
Fraction of the syrup left
= 1 -
16 =
56 Fraction of the container with the remaining syrup
=
23 x
56 =
59 5 u = 130
1 u = 130 ÷ 5 = 26
Capacity of the container
= 9 u
= 9 x 26
= 234 mℓ
Answer(s): 234 mℓ
