A container of syrup is
511 full. When
23 of the syrup is poured out, there is 120 mℓ of syrup in the container. Find the capacity of the container in mℓ.
Fraction of the syrup left
= 1 -
23 =
13 Fraction of the container with the remaining syrup
=
511 x
13 =
533 5 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 5 = 24
Capacity of the container
= 33 u
= 33 x 24
= 792 mℓ
Answer(s): 792 mℓ
