Math Problem Statement
A cylindrical jar can hold 1.5 litres of water and is 7/10th full. Approximately how much waters in litres should be poured so that it becomes 7/10th empty.
Solution
To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step.
Step 1: Find the total capacity of the cylindrical jar.
The total capacity of the jar is given as 1.5 liters.
Step 2: Find how much water is in the jar when it's 7/10 full.
When the jar is 7/10 full, the amount of water in the jar is:
Step 3: Determine the amount of water when the jar is 7/10 empty.
If the jar is 7/10 empty, it means the jar is 3/10 full. Therefore, the amount of water in the jar at this point will be:
Step 4: Find the amount of water to be poured out.
To make the jar 7/10 empty from its current state (7/10 full), you need to pour out:
Thus, 0.6 liters of water should be poured out so that the jar becomes 7/10 empty.

Here are 5 related questions:
- How would the calculation change if the jar had a capacity of 2 liters?
- What percentage of the jar is full when it contains 0.75 liters of water?
- How do you convert milliliters to liters in problems like this?
- What is the volume of water if the jar is 4/5 full?
- How would you calculate the volume if the jar were a different shape, like a cube?
Tip: Always keep track of units (liters, milliliters, etc.) when dealing with volume problems to avoid confusion.

Water in the jar when 7/10 full = (7/10) * total capacity
Water in the jar when 7/10 empty = (3/10) * total capacity
Water to be poured out = water at 7/10 full - water at 7/10 empty
