A water cooler is 5/6 full. Monika reads it on Scale X (out of 18) and Tarun reads it on Scale Y (out of 42). What is the difference between Tarun's reading and Monika's reading (in parts)?

Question

Accepted Answer

20. 5/6 of 18: 6×3 = 18, so 5×3 = 15. 5/6 of 42: 6×7 = 42, so 5×7 = 35. Difference = 35 - 15 = 20.

A water cooler is $\frac{5}{6}$ full.
