Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN :

Together, five companies sold 65 L 675 mL paint to a shop. Each company sold an quantity of paint to the shop. How much paint did each company sell to the shop

to find :

How much paint did each company sell to the shop

solution:

• Total amount of sold paint is 65 litres and 675 mililitres 65 litres + 0.675 litres = = 65.675 litres (Term of unit conversion is 1000 ml = 1 litre)

• Let, each of the company sold x litres of paint (assume x as a variable to calculate the total amount of paint sold by each of the company)

• So,the total sold amount of paint

• = Number of companies x amount of sold paint by one company

• = 5xx

• = 5x litres

• Now, if we compare the total amount of paint that we calculated and the total amount of paint given in the question then we will get the following equation:

• 5x = = 65.675

• x = 65.675/5

• x = 13.135

• So, each of the company sold 13.135 litres or 13 litres and 135 mililitres of paint. (Answer)
