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