A pot full of water weighs 2 kg (the total combined weight of the pot and the water). If we spill out 20% of the water, the weig
ht of the pot and water together is 88% of the original weight. What is the weight of the empty pot in kg. Express your answer as a common fraction in lowest terms.
the empty pot is 0.8 kg or 4/5 kg. just do the weight lost times five and you get the answer. (times five because 1/5th of the water was lost. so to get the original weight of the water you multiply by the divisor (5)). Then you subtracts 1.2 from 2 and your and is 0.8 or 4/5ths
You have to multiply all the sides of the shapes for example if the shape has three numbers such as 10 for the length 20 for the width and 6 for height multiply all of the numbers
