Question

The jar shown below is {frac(2/5)} filled with water. If 750 ml more
water is poured into the jar, it becomes full.
What is the capacity of the jar?

Answer 1

Answer:

1250

Step-by-step explanation:

let capacity of jar be x

x - (2x/5) = 6/750

3x/5=750 =>x =3750/3 =1250 ml

Answer 2

Answer:

let capacity of jar is x ml

jar is filled with 2/5 of x i.e 2x/5

remained portion is x- 2x/5=3x/5

we know jar is filled fully when we pour 750 ml water

so remained portion is 750 ml

compare it with 3x/5

we get, 3x/5= 750 ml

x=(750×5)/3 ml

x=250×5=1250 ml

so , capacity of jar is 1250 ml
