Question

A bottle contains 1 litre 100 ml of medicine if 185 parients were given 1 ml of medicine how much medicine is left in the bottle ?

Answer 1

Answer:

915ml of medicine

Step-by-step explanation:

1ml of medicine is to given to 185 patients.

That means 185ml is used. ( 1×185=185ml)

1 litre 100ml=1100ml

1100-185= 915ml

Therefore, 915ml of medicine is still left in the bottle.

Answer 2

It is said that a bottle contains 1 litre 100 ml of medicine. Thereafter, It's stated that 185 patients were given 1 ml of medicine. So, have to find out the amount of medicine left after giving 1 ml medicine to 185 patients.

For that, first we will convert the given amount of medicine into millilitres. Then, We will subtract the amount of medicine consumed by 185 patients from that of the total amount of medicine in the bottle.

Let's do it :

We have given :

Total medicine in a bottle :

• 1 litre 100 ml

Converting into ml

$\therefore\sf 1 \: l = 1000 \: millilitres$

So ,now

1000 + 100 = 1100 ml of medicine were there in the bottle.

Medicine consumed by 185 patients is 185 millilitres as 1 ml given to each of them.

Subtracting the amount of medicine consumed from the total amount of medicine.

$\implies$ 1100 - 185

$\implies$ 915 ml

Hence, the amount of medicine left after the consumption of 185 ml is 915 ml.

${\boxed{\sf{Required \: Answer = {\red{915 \: ml}}}}}$
