Question

if 21.875 of oil is in 3½ cans of tin of equal capacity then find the capacity of oil in each tin​

Answer 1

Answer:

6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

total amount of oil - 21.875

no .of cans - 3.5

capacity of each drum - 21.875 ÷ 3.5 = 6.25

Answer 2

Answer:

The capacity of oil in each tin​ = 6.25litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total weight of the oil is 21.875litres

Total number of cans = 3½ cans

To find,

The capacity of oil in each tin

Solution:

Since the cans are of equal capacity, let us take the capacity of each tin = x liters

Then we have,

The weight oil in one tin ×No. of tins = Total weight of oil

That is,

The capacity of one tin  ×No. of tins = Total weight of oil

Substituting the values we get

x×3½ = 21.875

x × $\frac{7}{2}$ = 21.875

x = $\frac{21.875 X2}{7}$

= 6.25litres

∴The capacity of oil in each tin​ = 6.25litres
