Question

30 L of fuel is poured equally into 5 cans. How many mL of fuel does each can have?

• A. 4,000 mL
• B. 6,000 mL
• C. 1,000 mL
• D. 5,000 mL

Answer 1

The correct option is B 6,000 mL

$\text{Total amount of fuel}$ $\text{= 30 L}$

$\text{Number of cans = 5}$

$\text{We have to find the fuel in each can}$ $\text{in milliliters.}$

$\text{First of all, we will have to convert}$ $\text{liters to milliliters.}$

$\text{We know that,}$
$\text{1 liter =}$ $\text{1,000 milliliters}$


$\text{Hence, we will multiply 30 with 1,000.}$

$\text{So, 30 L}=30\times 1\text{L}$
$=30\times 1000\text{mL}$
$=30,000\text{mL}$

$\text{Now, let's calculate the amount of fuel of}$ $\text{in each can.}$

$\text{Let's divide 30,000 by 5.}$


$\text{Hence, there is 6,000 mL of fuel}$ $\text{in each can.}$
