Question

3/8of a container is full of paint if there is 17.1l of paint in the container how much more paint required to fill 5/6 of the container ​

Answer 1

In the container let's the full part ( all 8 by 8 parts ) - x

So, 3/8 of container = 3/8 × x

In that full paint of 3/8th of container there is 17.6 litres of paint.

• So, 3/8x of container it needs = 17.1 litre
• So, 3/8x of container it needs = 17.1 litre
• So, 1x part of container it needs = 17.1 × 8/3x litre So, 3/8x of container it needs = 17.1 litreSo, 1x part of container it needs = 17.1 × 8/3x litreTherefore, 5/6th of container it needs = 17.1 × 8/3 × 5/6 = 38 .

So it required 38 litres of paint to fill 5/6 of the container.
