29 of the cooking wine is poured out, there is 120 mℓ of cooking wine in the bottle. Find the capacity of the bottle in mℓ.
Fraction of the cooking wine left
= 1 -
29 =
79 Fraction of the bottle with the remaining cooking wine
=
27 x
79 =
29 2 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 2 = 60
Capacity of the bottle
= 9 u
= 9 x 60
= 540 mℓ
Answer(s): 540 mℓ
