Question

A jar contains 7*3/4 L of milk. After packing the milk in 20 packets of equal capacity, 14 L of milk was still left in the jar. Which of the following is the correct process to find the quantity of milk in each of the smaller packets?

Answer 1

Answer:

After the 20 packets of milk were packed from the 734 L of milk in the jar, 14 L of milk were still lift. Therefore, 734-14=720 liters of milk were used to pack the 20 packets.

Since it is given in the problem that each packet of milk contained the same amount of milk, each packet of milk must have had:

\frac{720}{20}=\boxed{36} liters of milk.
