Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The capacity of the beaker is 28 L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the capacity of the beaker be x

By condition,

3x/7 + 16 = x

=> x-3x/7 = 16

=> 7x - 3x / 7 = 16

=> 4x/7 = 16

=> 4x = 16 × 7

=> x = 16 × 7 / 4 = 4 × 7 = 28 L (ans).
