At first, a pot contained
37 ℓ of water. Fiona added another
12 ℓ of water into the pot. Then she used
513 of all the water in the pot. How much water did Fiona use? Express your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
Total volume of water in the pot after Fiona added more water into the pot
= 37 + 12
= 614 + 714
= 1314 ℓ
13 u = 1314
1 u = 1314 ÷ 13 = 1314 x 113 = 114
Volume of water that Fiona used
= 5 u
= 5 x 114
= 514 ℓ
Answer(s): 514 ℓ
