Question

Three quarters of a jug was filled with water. Jyoti poured out half of the water present in the jug into a glass. What part of the jug is filled now?

Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

Initially the jug was filled three quarters that is ¾. And jyoti poured out half of the water present in the jug. We need to find out which part of jug is filled. So since half of water is taken , hence water taken = 3/4 ÷ 2 = 3/4 × 1/2 = 3/8

⇒ Water left = 3/4 - 3/8

⇒ Water left = 6 - 3/8

⇒ Water left = 1/8

Hence 1/8 parts of water is left out.
