The volume of the aquarium is 60 dm3 (cubic) find the volume of the occupied water if it is known that it is three-fifths (3) of the volume of the aquarium (5).

The volume of the aquarium is 60 dm’3.
The volume of water is 3/5 of the volume of the aquarium.
This means that the entire volume of the aquarium is 5 parts. Water takes 3 parts. We find the volume of water that the aquarium occupies.
60 dm’3 – 5 parts.
X dm’3 – 3 parts.
Find the unknown value of x.
X = 60 * 3: 5 = 36 dm’3.
This means that water occupies a volume of 36 dm’3.
