Answer 2

✬ (1/64) litres ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• One tin can hold (1/4)^5 litres of oil.

To Find

• How many litres of oil can 16 tin can hold?

Solution:

$1 \: tin \: = ( \frac{1}{4} ) ^{5} \\ = > \frac{1}{4 } \times \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{4} \\ = > \frac{1}{16 \times 16 \times 4} \\ = > \frac{1}{1024}$

∴ 16 tins can hold

$16 \: tins \: =16 \times ( \frac{1}{1024} ) \\ = > \frac{16}{1024} \\ = > \frac{4}{256} \\ = > \frac{1}{64} litres \: of \: oil$
