At first, a container contained
35 ℓ of water. Kimberly added another
13 ℓ of water into the container. Then she used
214 of all the water in the container. How much water did Kimberly use? Express your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
Total volume of water in the container after Kimberly added more water into the container
= 35 + 13
= 915 + 515
= 1415 ℓ
14 u = 1415
1 u = 1415 ÷ 14 = 1415 x 114 = 115
Volume of water that Kimberly used
= 2 u
= 2 x 115
= 215 ℓ
Answer(s): 215 ℓ
