Question

Mrs. Singh bought 5 litres of milk. There was 2/8 litres left in the evening. How much was used during the day?​

Answer 1

Answer:

4.75 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Total milk = 5 L

Milk left = 2/8 = 1/4 => 0.75 L

Thus, milk used = (5 - 0.75) L => 4.75 L

Answer 2

Answer :-

19/4

Explanation :-

Given :

Amount of milk bought = 5 litres

Amount of milk left = 2/8 litres

To Find :

Quantity of milk utilised = ?

Solution :

Let the milk used be “x”

$\implies \sf{}Quantity\ of\ milk\ bought-Quantity\ of\ milk\ left =x$

$\implies \rm{}\bigg(5-\dfrac{2}{8}\bigg)=x$

$\implies \rm{}\bigg(\dfrac{5\times 8-2\times 1}{8}\bigg)=x$

$\implies \rm{}\dfrac{40-2}{8}=x$

$\rm \implies x={}\dfrac{38}{8}$

$\rm \implies x={}\dfrac{19}{4}$

Therefore, 19/4 litres of milk was used during the day.
