Answer 2

Answer:

The number is bottles needs to get 17.5 litres of milk when given that Five identical bottles are required to get 12.5 litres of milk is 7 bottles

Quantity of 17.5 milk needed to be filled in such bottles be= x

We can use B1/M1 =B2/M2 to get bottles

B1/M1=B2/M2

5/12.5=x/17.5

5×17.5=12.5×x

x=5×17.5/12.5

x=5×175/125

x=175/25

x=7

There fore 7 bottles are required to fill 17.5 litres of milk
