Question

A drum is two-third full. If 120 liters are required to fill it up completely the capacity of drum in

liters is:
​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the complete capacity of drum is 'L'

now if the drum is two third full then the left volume of drum is 1/3 rd of its complete capacity and 120 lit is required to fill this left volume.

so, (1/3)L = 120 , L = 3 x 120 = 360 lit

so the complete capacity of the drum is 360 liters

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the drum be x

2/3x +120=x

2x/3+120=x

2x+360/3=x

2x +360=3x

360=3x-2x

360=x

So, capacity of drum in liters =360 liters
