A bucket holds 15 L 400 mL of water. If a mug of capacity 650 mL is used to take out the water from the bucket, how much water is left in the bucket? Write the answer in decimals.
A mug has capacity of 650ml .ten mugs of water are used to fill a bucketof capacity 15500ml? How much water does bucket have? And how much more can be filled in it?
You've used ten mugs, each with 650ml. This means that the amount of water you have put in is 10 mugs × 650ml per mug. 10×650=6500ml. You have 6500ml in the bucket.
Now, there are two ways to answer 'how much more can be filled in it.’ Option one: how many more millimeters until it is full? Option two: how many more mugs until it is full.
Option one is easier. You have space for 15500ml. You already have 6500ml. You can add everything between those two numbers. 15500ml possible - 6500ml used gives you 15500–6500=9000ml. You can fill 9000ml more.
Option two starts where option one ends. You have 9000ml to fill. How many mugs can you put in it without overflowing? You need to know how many times you can put that 650ml mug into 9000ml. 9000ml ÷ 650ml per mug. You can put that in a calculator or do long division (bleh). I'm using a calculator. 9000÷650=13.8461…. You can't use .8461… of a mug, so you have to use the nearest number of mugs that will not make it overflow. 14 mugs? You have .1538… of a mug that will slop over. 13 mugs? A little under, but the best you're gonna get.
The answer to your second question is 9000ml or 13 mugs.

Step-by-step explanation:
Capacity of bucket = 15 L 400ml
Capacity of mug that is used to take out water from bucket = 650ml
Capacity of Water left in Bucket =
L ml
15 400
- 650
14. 750 = 14L. 750ml
In decimal form = 1L= 1000ml
= 14750/ 1000
= 14 . 750 L
