Open in App
Solution

The correct option is A 18
Quantity of juice in the jug = 5444 ml

Quantity of juice that a glass can hold = 272 ml

Consider number 5444, the tens digit is 4 which is less than 5.

So, the tens digit and ones digit will be replaced with 0, and hundreds digit will remain the same.

So, 5444 will be rounded off to 5400.

Consider number 272, the tens digit is 7 which is greater than 5.

Hence, the tens digit and ones digit will be replaced with 0, and hundreds digit will be increased by 1.

So, 272 will be rounded off to 300.

Estimated quantities:

Quantity of juice in the jug = 5400 ml
Quantity of juice that a glass can hold = 300 ml

Estimated number of glasses =5400÷300 = 18
