Question

A drum is one - fifth full of milk , if 28 litres more milk is required to fill it up , the capacity of the drum is​

Answer 1

drum filled =1/5

drum empty=4/5

litres of milk to fill tank = 28

then according to question 4/5 drum capacity is =28 litres

then 1/5 = 28 ÷4 =7

total capacity = 28 +7 = 35

Answer 2

Answer:

35 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

let total litres of milk be X.

From the question, we can gather that the total litres of milk can be divided into 5 units and that only one unit out of the 5 units is filled.

So, amount of milk in the drum

= 1/5 of X

remaining quantity

= 4/5 of X

= 28 litres

in the information above, we can find X with the equation of the remaining quantity of milk:

4/5 of X=28 (of means multiplication)

→ 4/5X = 28

→ 4X = 28×5

= 140

→ X = 140/4

= 35 litres

in the start we decided that:

full quantity of milk is X and now we figured out that X = 35 litres.
