The figure is exactly one-quarter full.
\n" ); document.write( " If 7 liters of liquid are added , the vessel will be exactly three-fifths full. What is the total capacity of the vessel?
\n" ); document.write( ": \
\n" ); document.write( "let x = total capacity of the vessel
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F4\"x + 7 = \"3%2F5\"x
\n" ); document.write( "multiply equation by 20, cancel the denominators, you have:
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 20(7) = 4(3x)
\n" ); document.write( "140 = 12x - 5x
\n" ); document.write( "140 = 7x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 140/7
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20 liters is total capacity
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F4\"(20) + 7 = \"3%2F5\"(20)
\n" ); document.write( "5 + 7 = 12
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
