Question

Mangalam buys a water jug of capacity `3 4/5` litre. If she buys another jug which is `2 2/3` times as large as the smaller jug, how many litre can the larger one hold?

Answer 1

Capacity of the small water jug = `3 4/5` litres

Capacity of the big jug = `2 2/3` times the small one.

= `2 2/3 xx 3 4/5`

= `8/3 xx 19/5`

= `152/15`

= `10 2/15` litres

Capacity of the large jug = `10 2/15` litres
