Rahul has a cup and a jug. The jug can hold 3 times of water than cup.
Answer the following.
a) If the full cup can hold 400 ml water, then how much water jug can hold?
b) If 2/5 of the cup is filled with water, then what fraction of the cup is empty?
c) If water is transferred from cup to jug, what fraction of the jug is filled with water.
a) The jug can hold 3 times of water than cup, so if the full cup can hold 400 ml water, the jug can hold 3 times 400 ml = 1200 ml water.
b) If 2/5 of the cup is filled with water, then 3/5 of the cup is empty.
c) Since the jug can hold 1200 ml water and it is three times more than the cup, the cup can hold 1/3 of the jug. So, if half of the cup is transferred to the jug, then the jug will be (1/3 + 1/6) filled with water, which is 1/2 of the jug. Therefore, the fraction of the jug that is filled with water is 1/2.
a) The cup can hold 400 ml of water. Since the jug can hold 3 times the amount of water as the cup, the jug can hold 400 ml x 3 = 1200 ml of water.
b) If 2/5 of the cup is filled with water, then 3/5 of the cup is empty.
c) If water is transferred from the cup to the jug, the fraction of the jug filled with water will depend on how much water is transferred. If x ml of water is transferred from the cup to the jug, then the fraction of the jug filled with water will be (x ml) / (1200 ml).
