Question

Q16. A drum is filled by 255 litres of water. How much will be filled in 15 such drums. If 25 litres of water fill in one bucket, how many buckets will be filled in 5drums?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A drum is filled by 255 litres of water

15 such drums can be filled= 255×15= 3825 litres

capacity of bucket = 25 litres

number of buckets can fill 5 drums

= 5×255/25

= 51 buckets

buckets will be filled in 5drums= 51 buckets

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the total capacity of the drum be x .

The drum is 2/3 full.

Amount of liquid present in the drum = (2/3)x

It is given that if 50 more litres are added then the drum becomes full.

So the total capacity of the drum = (2/3)x + 50

But the total capacity = x

So, (2/3)x + 50 = x

(2x+150)/3 = x

x = 150

Thus, the total capacity of the drum is 150 litres.
