Question

Together five companies sold 65 litre 675 millilitre paint to a shop .Each company sold an equal quantity of paint to a shop. How much paint did each company sell to a shop

Answer 1

Answer:

Each company sold 13 litres 135 mililitres.

• Given data :

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)

And, each company sold equal amount of paint.

• 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 × amount of sold paint by one company

= 5×x

= 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)

Answer 2

Answer:

Each company sold 13 litres 135 mililitres.

• Given data :

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)

And, each company sold equal amount of paint.

• 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 × amount of sold paint by one company

= 5×x

= 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)
