A container that can hold 12 litres is 3/4 full. How much will it contain after 4 litres has been poured out of it?
Correct answer: A. 5 litres
- A. 5 litres
- B. 6 litres
- C. 8 litres
- D. 12 litres
Explanation
A full container holds 12 litres. Being 3/4 full means it contains 9 litres (as 3/4 of 12 is 9). After pouring out 4 litres, subtracting 4 from 9 results in 5 litres remaining. Therefore, the correct answer is 5 litres. The other options do not accurately represent the remaining volume after pouring out the specified volume.
