a container of 4/9 full and required 240 liters of water to fill it up ,what is the capacity of the container

432 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the container was already 4/9 full, 240 liters is 5/9 of the whole.

1. Convert 5/9 to a decimal and then a percent by dividing the fraction and then multiplying by 100:

5/9 = 0.5556 = 55.56%

2. To determine what number 240 is 55.56% of, write the equation like this:

0.5556x = 240

(In which x = the number you are solving for)

3. Divide both sides of the equation by 0.5556 to isolate the variable.

x =

x = 432 (Don't forget the unit, liters)

4. To check your work, make sure that 240 is 5/9 (55.56%) of 432:

432 × 0.5556 = 240

(Note: Because the fraction converts to a repeating decimal, I had to round it. This means the answer is a very small decimal off from the actual answer that I put.)
