Solve. A bucket has 16 liters of water in it when it is four sevenths full. How much can it​ hold?

Question

I need a simplified answer and needs to be a fraction,

Answer 1

Here's what we know:

⁴/₇ = ¹⁶/_x (When the bucket is 4/7 full, it's holding 16 liters out of a certain amount)

From here, I notice that 4 * 4 = 16, therefore 7 * 4 = x in order to keep the ratio balanced.

7 * 4 = 28, so the bucket can hold 28 liters.
