Question
Give the answer as a mixed number in its simplest form.A tank had 78 ℓ of water. 34 of the water was used to put out a fire.How many litres of water were used?
Solution
To find out how many litres of water were used, we need to calculate 3/4 of 78 litres.
Step 1: Divide 78 by 4 to find out what 1/4 of the tank is. 78 ÷ 4 = 19.5 litres
Step 2: Multiply 19.5 litres by 3 to find out what 3/4 of the tank is. 19.5 x 3 = 58.5 litres
So, 58.5 litres of water were used to put out the fire.
