Answer 1

Answer:

You should do it yourself but I will give you a one example

Step-by-step explanation:

Three cans contain 12 liters, 16 liters, and 24 liters of milk. A mug is filled equal number of times from each can. What is the largest capacity of the mug?

Ans : In order for us to get the question’s conditions to be true, we would have to say:

12n=16n=24n=x

where n is the number of times the mug is filled and x is the capacity of the mug.

Since 12≠16≠24 , 12n≠16n≠24nIf we allow the case where a can does not have to be completely drained, then the solution to the largest capacity of the mug is 12 litres, because each can would fill the 12 litre mug (at least) one time.
