At first, a pot contained
15 ℓ of water. Jaslyn added another
13 ℓ of water into the pot. Then she used
28 of all the water in the pot. How much water did Jaslyn use? Express your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.
Total volume of water in the pot after Jaslyn added more water into the pot
= 15 + 13
= 315 + 515
= 815 ℓ
8 u = 815
1 u = 815 ÷ 8 = 815 x 18 = 115
Volume of water that Jaslyn used
= 2 u
= 2 x 115
= 215 ℓ
Answer(s): 215 ℓ
