Question

A bath tub can hold $60$ L of water in it. It has $33$ L $450$ mL of water in it. How much water can be poured in it?

• A. 24 L 650 mL
• B. 26 L 550 mL
• C. 33 L 550 mL
• D. 27 L 550 mL

Answer 1

The correct option is B 26 L 550 mL

We know
$1\text{L}=1000\text{mL}$
Total Volume of bath tub $=60\text{L}=60000\text{mL}$
Already filled water volume $=33\text{L}450\text{mL}$
$\because 33\text{L}450\text{mL}=(33000+450)\text{mL}=33450\text{mL}$

Unfilled volume of tube $=(60000-33450)=26550\text{mL}$
$\therefore 26\text{L}550\text{mL}$ water can be poured in it
