Answer 2

Answer:

1.2 liters or 6/5 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Milk with the milkman=18/5

First we will convert this into decimal format to make it easier to calculate.

To convert a fraction into a decimal, we multiply the denominator and the numerator with the number which helps in making the denominator a 10 series number. For example- $\frac{12}{25}$ × $\frac{4}{4} = \frac{48}{100}=0.48$

In this case, $\frac{18}{5}$× $\frac{2}{2}=\frac{36}{10} = 3.6 litres$

Milk with the milkman= 3.6 liters

Families who got milk= 3

Milk gotten by 3 families=  3.6 ÷ 3 = 1.2 liters

1.2= 12/10=6/5

Therefore each family got 1.2 liters or 6/5 liters of milk.
