A tank holds 27.5 liters of water. If a leak causes 3/8 of the water to drain out, how much water remains in the tank (in liters)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Initial water in the tank = 27.5 liters
Water flowed out = 27.5 × 3/8
= 10.3125 liters
Remaining water = 27.5 - 10.3125
= 17.18 liters
