Answer:
1) total water required for miscellaneous purpose = 100 -(36+24+18) =22
So fraction = 22/100 = 11/50
2) water used for washing clothes and utensils in litre = 24 litres
so fraction = 24/100 = 6/25
3) water used for watering plants in litre = 18 litre
so it's fraction = 18/100 = 9/50
Hope this helps
The answer, step-by-step, could be:-
Total amount of water in the water tank = 100 litres
(a) Amount of water used for miscellaneous purposes = 100 - (36 + 24 + 18) {Because actual amount is unknown} = 100 - 78 = 22 litres
Fraction of water used for miscellaneous purposes = 22/100 = 11/50
(b) Amount of water used for washing clothes and utensils = 24 litres
Fraction of water used for washing clothes and utensils = 24/100 = 6/25
(c) Amount of water used for watering plants = 18 litres
Fraction of water used for watering plants = 18/100 = 9/50.
