At first, a pot contained
27 ℓ of water. Linda added another
12 ℓ of water into the pot. Then she used
311 of all the water in the pot. How much water did Linda use? Express your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
Total volume of water in the pot after Linda added more water into the pot
= 27 + 12
= 414 + 714
= 1114 ℓ
11 u = 1114
1 u = 1114 ÷ 11 = 1114 x 111 = 114
Volume of water that Linda used
= 3 u
= 3 x 114
= 314 ℓ
Answer(s): 314 ℓ
