Question

Anna poured 5 jugs of water into a large container. Each jug could hold 2 l 150 ml of water. How much water did Anna pour into the container?

• A. 10 l 750 ml
• B. 10 l 705 ml
• C. 10 l 550 ml
• D. 11 l 750 ml

Answer 1

The correct option is A 10 l 750 ml

Capacity of a jug = 2 l 150 ml

$\therefore$ The capacity of 5 jugs is found by multiplying 2 l 150 ml by 5.
$$\begin{array}{ccccccccc}& & & l& & & ml& & \\ & & & & & 2& & & \\ & & & 2& & 1& 5& 0& \\ & \times & & & & & & 5& \\ & & 1& 0& & 7& 5& 0& \end{array}$$

Thus, Anna poured 10 l 750 ml of water into the container.
