What fraction of it is empty?
​

Answer 1

This is an incomplete question, the image is shown below.

Answer : The fraction empty container is,
`(7)/(12)`

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

The capacity of container = 60 mL

In the given figure, the container is filled with 25 mL.

That means,

60 - 25 = 35 mL container is empty.

Now we have to calculate the fraction of it is empty.

The fraction of it is empty =
`\frac{\text{Capacity of empty container}}{\text{Total capacity of container}}`

The fraction of it is empty =
`(35mL)/(60mL)`

The fraction of it is empty =
`(7)/(12)`

Therefore, the fraction empty container is,
`(7)/(12)`
