Sarai is mixing a solution. She pours all the liquid from a full small beaker into a larger beaker. The liquid fills the large beaker to 15% of its capacity. If the small beaker holds 300 mL, how much does the large beaker hold?

Answer:

2000 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sarai pours all the liquid from a full small beaker into a larger    beaker.

           The liquid fills the large beaker to 15% of its capacity.

            The small beaker holds 300 ml.

Lets assume capacity of large beaker to hold be "x".

As given, Sarai pours all the liquid from a full small beaker into a larger beaker

∴ [tex]15\% \times x= 300\ ml[/tex]

⇒ [tex]0.15x= 300[/tex]

Dividing both side by 0.15

⇒[tex]x= \frac{300}{0.15}[/tex]

∴ [tex]x= 2000\ ml[/tex]

Hence, the large beaker can hold 2000 ml of liquid.
