For this case we have the following question:
A disinfectant drum contains 4/5 of its capacity, today 1/3 of the disinfectant it contained has been consumed. What fraction of the capacity of the container has been consumed?
So, we have:
Initial disinfectant content: [tex]\frac {4} {5}[/tex] of its capacity
Consuming[tex]\frac {1} {3}[/tex]of disinfectant means: [tex]\frac {1} {3} * \frac {4} {5} = \frac {4} {15}[/tex]
Thus,[tex]\frac {4} {15}[/tex]of its capacity was consumed.
Answer:
[tex]\frac {4} {15}[/tex] of its capacity was consumed.
