Question

A water bottle had 4 liters of water. If Nexus consumed one litre of water. Nellie consumed $\frac{1}{3}$ part of the remaining water in the bottle, then how much part of 4 litre water did Nellie consumed?

• A. $\frac{1}{4}$
• B. $\frac{3}{4}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{4}$

Given that four litres of water is there in the water bottle.

Nexus consumed only one litre of water.

Fraction of water consumed by Nexus $=\frac{1}{4}$

Fraction of remaning water $=1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$

Given that Nellie consumed $\frac{1}{3}$ part of remaining water.

Fraction of water consumed by Nellie out of 4 litre water $=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$
