Question

the holding capacity of a box is 15 litre then how many boxes can be filled from 3750 litre drum

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Firstly Let's understand the concept:-

Here the concept of volumes of three dimensional shapes used. here volumes of box and drum given. We have to divide the volume of drum by volume of box to get the number of boxes.

Given:-

Holding capacity of a box=15 L

Capacity of a drum=3750L

To find:-

How many boxes can be filled inside 3750 litre drum.

Solution:-

Volume of box=15 L

Volume of drum=3750L

Here formula will be

$\boxed{\sf Number\:of\:boxes=\dfrac {Volume\;of\:drum}{Volume\:of\;one\;box}}$

$\\\qquad\quad\displaystyle\sf {:}\longrightarrow \dfrac {3750}{15}$

$\\\qquad\quad\displaystyle\sf {:}\longrightarrow 250$

$\\\therefore\sf 250 boxes\:can\:be\:filled .$
