Question

mangalam buys a water jug of capacity 3 *4/5 litres. if she buys another jug which is 2*2/3 times as large as the smaller jug, how many litres can the larger one hold?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 3.2 liters. The larger jug can hold 3.2 liters of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the first jug = 3 * 4/5 liters

Now the volume of the second jug = 2 * 2/3 times of the first jug

So, the volume or capacity of the second jug( larger jug) = 2 * 2/3 * 3 * 4/5 liters = 16/5 litres which is equal to 3.2 litres.

So, the capacity of the larger jug is 3.2 liters.

Answer 2

Capacity of the small water jug = 3 ⅘ litres

Capacity of the big jug = 2⅔ times the small one.

= 2 ⅔ x 3 ⅘

= 8/3 x 19/5

= 152/15

= 10 ²/15 litres

Capacity of the large jug 10²/15 litres
