hope help

Answer 2

Answer :

• 8 litres

Given :

• Two containers have 16 L and 24 L of oil.

To find :

• the largest measuring can that can exactly measure oil from both the containers.

Solution :

⇒ Let's find the largest measuring container which can exactly measure oil from both containers.

• To find the answer, we have to find the HCF of both measures.

→ HCF of 16 and 24.

→ Factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.

→ Factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.

→ Common factors of 16 and 24 are 1,2,4, and 8.

Highest common factor = 1, 2, 4, and 8.

= 8

• Therefore, the largest measuring can that can exactly measure oil from both the containers are 8 litres.
