together, five companies sold 65L675ml paint to a shop.each company sold an equal quantity of paint to the shop. how much paint did each company sell to the shop?
Answers
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)
