You will need to show your working out to this in the next question

Answer 1

Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets quantity of Yellow sold be x and blue sold be y

since it is given in that sh sold equal quantities,

we have x=y

and the number of containers of x sold will be

x/3(since each container carries 3L)

and for y it will be y/13

so minimum number of cans sold should be x/3+y/13

=16x/39=16y/39

and the minimum amount of colour that will be sold is 39 L
