rohan pours 25 ml water in an half empty mug. now mugis 3/5 full. how much water can the mug hold ?
If the mug holds x ml, then
x/2 + 25 = 3x/5
Now just solve for x
To find out how much water the mug can hold, we need to determine the total capacity of the mug.
Given that the mug is 3/5 full after pouring 25ml water, we can set up the equation:
3/5 * Total capacity of the mug = 25ml
To find out the total capacity, we need to solve for it. We can start by isolating the variable:
Total capacity of the mug = 25ml / (3/5)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
Total capacity of the mug = 25ml * (5/3)
Now, we can calculate the total capacity of the mug:
Total capacity of the mug = 125ml / 3
Therefore, the mug can hold 41.67ml of water (approximately).
To find out how much water the mug can hold, we need to determine the capacity of the mug.
We know that when Rohan pours 25 ml of water into the mug, it becomes 3/5 full.
Let's set up a proportion to solve the problem:
Let the capacity of the mug be 'x' ml.
According to the information given, the amount of water poured is 25 ml, and the mug becomes 3/5 full.
So, we can create the equation:
25 / x = 3/5
To solve for 'x', we can cross multiply:
5 * 25 = 3 * x
125 = 3 * x
Dividing both sides by 3:
125 / 3 = x
Therefore, x ≈ 41.67 ml.
Hence, the mug can hold approximately 41.67 ml of water.
