Question

A container can hold 11 L of milk. How many litres of milk can 3 trucks hold, if a truck can hold 23 such containers?

• A. 589 L
• B. 609 L
• C. 700 L
• D. 759 L

Answer 1

The correct option is D 759 L

One container = 11 L
23 containers will hold 23 x 11 L
$$\begin{array}{ccc}\times & 20& 3\\ 10& 200& 30\\ 1& 20& 3\end{array}$$
Total = 200 +30+20+3 = 253
So in one truck 253 L of milk is kept.
14 trucks can hold = 14 x 253 L
$$\begin{array}{cccc}\times & 200& 50& 3\\ 3& 3\times 200=600& 3\times 50=150& 3\times 3=9\end{array}$$
We get the desired result by adding the numbers in last row
= 600+150+9 = 759 L
