The correct Answer is:
To find out how much water is remaining in the bottle after drawing out a certain amount, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the initial amount of water in the bottle The water bottle initially has \( \frac{3}{5} \) of its capacity filled with water. ### Step 2: Determine the amount of water drawn from the bottle We are told that \( \frac{1}{7} \) of the water in the bottle is drawn out. To find out how much water that is, we need to calculate \( \frac{1}{7} \) of \( \frac{3}{5} \). ### Step 3: Calculate the amount of water drawn To calculate \( \frac{1}{7} \) of \( \frac{3}{5} \), we multiply the two fractions: \[ \frac{1}{7} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3}{35} \] ### Step 4: Subtract the drawn water from the initial amount Now, we need to subtract the amount of water drawn from the initial amount of water in the bottle: \[ \text{Remaining water} = \frac{3}{5} - \frac{3}{35} \] ### Step 5: Find a common denominator The denominators are 5 and 35. The least common multiple of 5 and 35 is 35. We need to convert \( \frac{3}{5} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 35: \[ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 7}{5 \times 7} = \frac{21}{35} \] ### Step 6: Perform the subtraction Now we can subtract: \[ \frac{21}{35} - \frac{3}{35} = \frac{21 - 3}{35} = \frac{18}{35} \] ### Step 7: Conclusion The amount of water remaining in the bottle is \( \frac{18}{35} \). ---
