Question

A glass of capacity 225 ml is filled with water and this water is then poured into an empty jug of capacity 1 litre. What part of the jug is filled up?
A. Exactly one fourth.
B. Less than one fourth.
C. Exactly one fifth.
D. Less than one fifth.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Less than one fourth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Water contained in the glass = 225ml

Capacity of water the jug can hold = 1L = 1000ml

Part of the jug filled =  $\frac{225ml}{1000ml}*100$ upon simplifying we get 22.5% or $22\frac{1}{2}$

We know that one fourth is 25% and one fifth is 20%

Therefore the answer is Less than one fourth.

                     

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Less than one fourth.

Step-by-step explanation:

one fourth = 250

225 is less than 250

so Less than one fourth
