Let it be x units.
Therefore
5/8x - 10 = 1/2x
10 = 5/8x - 4/8x
=> 10 = 1/8 x
=> 80ml = x
This the capacity is 80 units (ml/l).
Therefore
5/8x - 10 = 1/2x
10 = 5/8x - 4/8x
=> 10 = 1/8 x
=> 80ml = x
This the capacity is 80 units (ml/l).

let the capacity be x litres
by the given cond,
5x/8 - 10 = 1x/2
5x/8- 1x/2 = 10
5x - 4x/8= 10
x/8 =10
x = 80 litres
by the given cond,
5x/8 - 10 = 1x/2
5x/8- 1x/2 = 10
5x - 4x/8= 10
x/8 =10
x = 80 litres
