Question

While pouring 1 liter of milk from a packet to a container, one third of the milk is spilt on the floor. The remaining milk was distributed among 4 children equally. How much milk did each child get?
and can you write the method how you found it?

Answer 1

1 liter = 1000ml
1/3rd milk = 1000×1/3= 333.33(split on the floor)
remaining milk= 1000-333.33= 666.67 ml

distributed milk to 4 children = 666.67/4
=166.667ml to each

Answer 2

After one third spilled on the floor, milk remains
=1-[1/3]
=2/3

Now this portion will be divided among 4 children equally.
So, each children will get
=[1/4][2/3]
=1/6 portion of the initial milk.
