16 of the wine is poured out, there is 120 mℓ of wine in the container. Find the capacity of the container in mℓ.
Fraction of the wine left
= 1 -
16 =
56 Fraction of the container with the remaining wine
=
311 x
56 =
522 5 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 5 = 24
Capacity of the container
= 22 u
= 22 x 24
= 528 mℓ
