35 full. When
111 of the syrup is poured out, there is 90 mℓ of syrup in the container. Find the capacity of the container in mℓ.
Fraction of the syrup left
= 1 -
111 =
1011 Fraction of the container with the remaining syrup
=
35 x
1011 =
611 6 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 6 = 15
Capacity of the container
= 11 u
= 11 x 15
= 165 mℓ
Answer(s): 165 mℓ
