Question

Howie works at a petting zoo. He fed a piglet 1/5 of a bottle of milk then gave 3/4 of what was left to the calf. How much of the bottle of milk did the calf drink

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{5}$th part of the bottle will be drunk by the calf.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part of the bottle fed by the piglet = $\frac{1}{5}$

Milk left in the bottle = 1 - $\frac{1}{5}$

                                  = $\frac{5-1}{5}$

                                  = $\frac{4}{5}$

Milk drunk by the calf = $\frac{3}{4}$th of the left part

                                     = $\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{4}{5}$

                                     = $\frac{3}{5}$th part of the bottle

Therefore, $\frac{3}{5}$th part of the bottle will be drunk by the calf.
