​

Answer 1

Answer:

• 10 bottles of water with a capacity of 500 ml should be poured to have 5 litres of water in the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• Capacity of a bottle is 500 ml.
• A container is to be filled with 5 litres.

To Find:

• How many bottles of water of 500 ml must be poured into the container to have 5 litres of water?

Solution:

• Capacity of bottle = 500 ml

• Amount of water to be poured in the container = 5 litres = (5 × 1000) ml = 5000 ml

Finding, number of bottles poured:

$\sf{No.\;of\;bottles=\dfrac{Amount \;of \;water \;to\; be\; poured}{Capacity\;of\;bottle }}$

Substituting the values,

$\sf{\longmapsto\dfrac{5000\;ml}{500\;ml}}$

$\sf{\longmapsto\dfrac{5000}{500}}$

Cutting off the zeros,

$\sf{\longmapsto\dfrac{50\!\!\!\not{0}\!\!\!\not{0}}{5\!\!\!\not{0}\!\!\!\not{0}}}$

$\sf{\longmapsto\dfrac{50}{5}}$

Dividing the numbers,

$\sf{\longmapsto10}$

Hence,

• 10 bottles of water should be poured.
