Question

Tina’s little brother had 25 liters of water in his wading pool and splashed 1/5 of the water out. Tina then added 7 liters of water to the pool. How many liters were then in the wading pool?

Answer 1

27 liters. 1/5 of 25 is 5 so 25 minus 5 is 20, plus 7 is 27.

Answer 2

Amount of water after splash = 25(4/5) = 20L

Amount of water after Tina adds water = 20L + 7L = 27L
