Answer:
The total volume of the glass is 300 cm^3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let V represent the total glass volume.
Then (4/5)V - (2/3)V = 40 cm^3. The LCD here is 15, so we rewrite this equation as
(12/15)V - (10/15)V = 40 cm^3, or
(2/15)V = 40 cm^3.
Solve for V by multiplying both sides of this equation by (15/2):
(15/2)(2/15)V = (15/2)(40 = 300 cm^3
The total volume of the glass is 300 cm^3.
