The volume of a liquid is x liters. When five-eighths of the liquid are poured into a container, the container is two-thirds full. What is the volume of the container?

Sagot :

Let x=number of liters
Let c=container

Equation: 5/8 x = 2/3 c
               Multiply both sides by 3/2--- c = (5/8x) x (3/2)
               c = 15/16 x
The volume of the container is 15/16 liters.
Hope this helps!!
