Question

If 1/5th part of drum is filled with milk and needs 28 litres of milk to get completely filled then what is the capacity of drum

Answer 1

Let the total capacity of the drum be x litres.
Now when we fill one-fifth of the drum, four-fifths of the capacity of the drum is left empty.

This value is given to be 28 litres. Thus
$\frac{4x}{5} = 28 \\ x = 28 \times \frac{5}{4} \\ x = 35$
Thus the capacity of the drum is 35 litres.

If this helps, mark it as the brainliest answer. I would really appreciate it.
