110 of the maple syrup is poured out, there is 60 mℓ of maple syrup in the container. Find the capacity of the container in mℓ.
Fraction of the maple syrup left
= 1 -
110 =
910 Fraction of the container with the remaining maple syrup
=
56 x
910 =
34 3 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 3 = 20
Capacity of the container
= 4 u
= 4 x 20
= 80 mℓ
Answer(s): 80 mℓ
