Fraction of remaining juice left after Owen spilled some
= 1 -
56=
16The volume of the remaining juice is the combined repeated identity. Make the volume of remaining juice the same. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
Volume of water left = 2 u
2 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 2 = 150
Total volume of water that Owen had at first
= 30 u
= 30 x 150
= 4500 mℓ
Answer(s): 4500 mℓ
