111 of the maple syrup is poured out, there is 140 mℓ of maple syrup in the bottle. Find the capacity of the bottle in mℓ.
Fraction of the maple syrup left
= 1 -
111 =
1011 Fraction of the bottle with the remaining maple syrup
=
23 x
1011 =
2033 20 u = 140
1 u = 140 ÷ 20 = 7
Capacity of the bottle
= 33 u
= 33 x 7
= 231 mℓ
Answer(s): 231 mℓ
