A container holds $$8\frac{1}{2}$$ litres of oil. If $$1.125$$ litres are removed three times, how much oil is left?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**
The container initially has:
$$ 8\frac{1}{2} = 8.5 $$
Oil removed each time:
$$ 1.125 $$
Since oil is removed three times:
$$ 1.125 	imes 3 = 3.375 $$
Now subtract the removed oil from the total oil:
$$ 8.5 - 3.375 = 5.125 $$
Convert $$5.125$$ into a mixed fraction:
$$ 5.125 = 5\frac{125}{1000} $$
Simplify:
$$ \frac{125}{1000} = \frac{1}{8} $$
So,
$$ 5.125 = 5\frac{1}{8} $$
Therefore, the correct answer is:
$$ \boxed{5\frac{1}{8}} $$
