Question

A beaker is 3/7 filled with water. Another 16L of water is needed to fill the beaker of its brim. What is the capacity of the beaker?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the capacity of beaker be X .

Then, Capacity of water already filled = 3/7 of X = 3x/7

Capacity needed more to fill it = 16 l

According to the question:-

3x/7 + 16 = X

3x + 112 / 7 = X

3x - X = -112/7

2x = -112/7

x = -112/7 ÷ 2

x = -112/7 × 1/2

x = -112/14

x = -8

Capacity of beaker = -8

Answer 2

Answer:

the capicity of the breaker is 28L
