Question

Answer 1

Answer:

1720+86= answer is there

Answer 2

$i)Quantity \: of \: blue \: paint = 1720 \:liters$

$ii) Quantity \: of \: red \: paint \\= Half \: of \: blue \: paint \\= \frac{1720}{2} \\= 860 \: litres$

$Total \: paint \: mixed \: by \: machine \\= Quantity \: of \: blue \: paint\\ + Quantity \: of \: red \: paint\\= 1720 + 860 \\= 2580 \: litres$

/* If paint poured equally into 86 cans */

$Number \: of \: cans (n) = 86$

$\red{ Quantity \: of \: paint \: each \:can }\red{ contain } \\=\frac{ Total \: paint \: mixed}{Number \: of \:cans } \\= \frac{2580}{86} \\\green {= 30 \: litres}$
