13 of the syrup is poured out, there is 150 mℓ of syrup in the container. Find the capacity of the container in mℓ.
Fraction of the syrup left
= 1 -
13 =
23 Fraction of the container with the remaining syrup
=
15 x
23 =
215 2 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 2 = 75
Capacity of the container
= 15 u
= 15 x 75
= 1125 mℓ
Answer(s): 1125 mℓ
