Question

The water in a bottle leaks through a hole. If the volume of water at any time is represented by the shaded part of the models below, find the volume of water in the bottle at 10:02 AM.

• A. $\frac{1}{9}L$
• B. $\frac{3}{9}L$
• C. $\frac{1}{9}L$
• D. $\frac{2}{9}L$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{2}{9}L$

Comparing the fraction represented by the shaded portion of each model, we find the following pattern:


$\therefore \text{The volume of water in the bottle at}\text{10:02 AM is}\frac{2}{9}L$
