Question

there was 5 2/3 liters of water in a can sam used 2 1/4 liters of water for cooking.how much water was left in the can?

Answer 1

Answer:

capacity of water in a can =

$5 \frac{2}{3}$

first we will convert it in improper fraction = 3x5+2 = 17/3

capacity of water Sam used =

$2 \frac{1}{4}$

now we will convert it in improper fraction = 4x2+1 = 9/4

now convert these into like fractions,

LCM of 4 & 3 = 2x2x3 = 12

$\frac{17}{3} \times \frac{4}{4} = \frac{68}{12}$

$\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{3}{3} = \frac{27}{12}$

$\frac{68}{12} - \frac{27}{12} = \frac{41}{12}$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:
