Question

a drum of water is 3 / 4 full. when 9 litres are drawn from it, it is half full. how much water does the drum hold. what is the capacity of the drum.

Answer 1

Hey there!!

The drum was 3 / 4 th full

Let us take the drums capacity as ‘x’

If we get that into equation,

3x / 4 - 9 = x / 2

3x / 4 - x / 2 = 9

Take LCM

3x - 2x / 4 = 9

x = 9 * 4

x = 36

Drums capacity = 36 litres

Hope my answer helps!!
