​

Answer 1

Answer:

3.75 litres of water in each vessel

Step-by-step explanation:

44 2/5 divided by 12

225/12=3.75

Answer 2

Answer:

The capacity of each vessel is $3\frac{7}{10} \ liters$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the capacity of each vessel be $x$.  There are 12 vessels in total and they hold $44\frac{2}{5}$ liters of water. First, we can convert the mixed fraction into a proper fraction.

$44\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{44\times 5+2}{5}=\dfrac{222}{5}$

So the capacity of each vessel is,

$Capacity = \frac{\frac{222}{5} }{12}=\dfrac{222}{12\times 5}=\dfrac{222}{60}= 3.7\ liters$

3.7 liters is the same as  $3\frac{7}{10}\ liters$ .
