What is the volume of water in Jug B in milliliters?

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of Water in Jug B = 1500 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of volume of water in Jug A to Jug B = 3:5

Therefore

$\ \frac{Water in jug A}{Water in jug B } = \frac{3}{5}$

$\frac{900}{x} = \: \frac{3}{5}$

here x is volume of water in jug B

$x \: = \frac{900 \times 5}{3}$

$x \: = 1500$
