For this case we have the following question:

A disinfectant drum contains 4/5 of its capacity, today 1/3 of the disinfectant it contained has been consumed. What fraction of the capacity of the container has been consumed?

So, we have:

Initial disinfectant content:
\frac {4} {5} of its capacity

Consuming
\frac {1} {3}of disinfectant means:
\frac {1} {3} * \frac {4} {5} = \frac {4} {15}

Thus,
\frac {4} {15}of its capacity was consumed.

Answer:


\frac {4} {15} of its capacity was consumed.
