Question

there was a liter of liquid detergent in their detergent container. she puts ⅒ liters of the liquid detergent in each of the 5 different containers. how many liters of liquid detergent are there in all if she will separate 3/10 from it?​

Answer 1

To find the total amount of liquid detergent, multiply the amount in each container by the number of containers. Then, subtract the amount being separated from the initial amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many liters of liquid detergent there are in total, we need to first find out how much liquid detergent is in each container and then multiply that by the number of containers.

Given that there are 5 different containers and each container has 1/10 liters of liquid detergent, we can multiply 1/10 by 5 to find out the total amount of liquid detergent in the containers: 1/10 * 5 = 1/2 liters.

Next, we need to subtract 3/10 liters, which is being separated, from the initial amount of 1 liter. So, 1 liter - 3/10 liters = 10/10 liters - 3/10 liters = 7/10 liters.

Therefore, there are 7/10 liters of liquid detergent in total.
