Question

A water container is 1/8 full. 35 litres if water are now poured into the container. The container is now 1/4 full.

Answer 1

Answer:

The container can hold 280 liters of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions

The water originally fills 1/8 of a container. Then 35 lt of water are poured into the container and now it's 1/4 full.

If we subtract the final portion of the tank minus the original portion of the container, we obtain the portion that was poured into.

$\mathrm{Portion\ poured }=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{2}{8}-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1}{8}$

If 35 liters of water is 1/8 of the tank, then it can hold 35*8 = 280 liters.

The container can hold 280 liters of water.
