A tank had 500 l of water. A family use one-fifth of the water. How much water was left?
Given :
The volume of water in the tank $= 500 L$
The fraction of water used by the family $= \frac{1}{5}$
To do :
We have to find the water left.
Solution :
Volume of water used by the family $= \frac{1}{5} (500) L = 100 L$
Therefore,
Volume of water left in the tank $=$ Total volume $-$ Volume used $= 500 L - 100 L = 400 L$.
The water left is 400 L.
