Question

2/5 of a kiddy pool was filled with water. After pouring out 5/7

Answer 1

Answer:

The question is asking what is the volume of water in the full pool.  It is 70 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P represent the volume of a full pool.

"2/5 of a kiddy pool was filled with water" can be written as:

(2/5)P.

"After pouring out 5/7  of the amount of [I assume from the 2/5P] water in the pool" can be written as:

(2/7)(2/5)P, or (4/35)P       [This represents the amount of water remaining in the pool after the above shenanigans.]

The we are told that when 62 liters are added back to the pool, it is full.  That can be written as:

62 + (4/35)P = P  [Add 62 liters to what was remaining. ((4/35)P), and we'll have P, a full pool, for a cool fool. [sorry]

62 = (31/35)P

P = 62(35/31)

P = 70 liters
