Given :

Capacity of drum 1 = 9L 550m = 9.550 L

Capacity of drum2 = 12L250 ml = 12.250 L

Capacity of drum 3 = 7L 450 ml = 7.450 L

Find :

The total quantity of oil with the shopkeeper.

Answer 2

Question :

A shopkeeper has three drums containing oil. In one drum he has 9 L 550 ml oil, in the second he has 12 l 250 ml oil and in the third he has 7 l 450 ml oil. find the total quantity of oil with the shopkeeper.

To Find :

The total quantity of oil with the shopkeeper

Solution :

Total no of drums containing oil = 3

• Quantity of oil in the 1st drum = 9L 550mL

• Quantity of oil in the 2nd drum = 12L 250mL

• Quantity of oil in the 3rd drum = 7L 450mL

Total quantity of oil in all the drums = 9L550 mL + 12L 250 mL + 7L 450mL

= 29L 250mL

By converting into Litres we get

1 L = 1000 mL

29 L 250mL = 29•250 L

Hence, the total quantity of oil is 29•250 L
