find the quantity of oil in the other vessel​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

two vessels = 5 1/7 + ?

⇒ 8 1/2 = 5 1 /7 + ?

⇒ 17 / 2 = 36 / 7 + ?

⇒ 17/2 - 36/7 = ?       L.C.M of 2 and 7 is 14

⇒ 17 x 7 / 14 - 36 x 2 / 14 = ?

⇒ 119 / 14 - 72 / 14 = ?

⇒ 119 - 72 / 14 = ?

⇒ 47 / 14 = ?

⇒ 3    5 /14 = ?

Answer 2

Answer:

let

Step-by-step explanation:

let the quantity of oil in the other vessel be x

oil in one vessel = 36/7

oil in both vessels = 17/2

x+36/7 = 17/2

x= 71/2-36/7

x= 497-72/14

x= 425/14
