Question

120 cans containing paint have a size 25 cm x 25 cm x 20 cm. The paint is transferred to smaller cans whose base measures 250 cm- area and height is 12 cm. How many small cans are needed.

Answer 1

500 cans will be required.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of each can is (25 × 25 × 20) = 12500 cm³.

So, the volume of such 120 cans will be = 12500 × 120 = 1500000 cm³.

Now, the base area of smaller cans is 250 cm² and height is 12 cm.

So, the volume of each smaller can is (250 × 12) = 3000 cm³

Hence, $\frac{1500000}{3000} = 500$ cans will be needed. (Answer)

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey mate! here is your answer

Volume of each can =( 25×25×25) cm 3

Therefore, volume of 120 cans = 120 × 25 × 25 ×25

Now, paint is transferred to smaller cans whose base is 250 cm 2 and height is 12 cm = (250 × 12 ) cm 3

Hence, the number of small cans needed = 120 × 25 × 25 × 25 / 250 × 12 = 25 × 20 = 500 cans.

hope it will help you dear ❤
