Answer 1

Answer:

A container of 1302 litres would be required to measure the deisel of all the tanks at once.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tanker 1 - 403ℓ

Tanker 2 - 434ℓ

Tanker 3 - 465ℓ      

To find a container that can measure the deisel od all tankers, we have to add the amount of diesel in each tanker.  

           403

         +434

         +465

        =1302ℓ

Note: ℓ is the abbreviation of the word litre.
