Question

How many times will we need to use the given container to transfer 50 liters 500 milliliters of liquid from Tank 1 to Tank 2?

• A. 206
• B. 202
• C. 204
• D. 200

Answer 1

The correct option is B 202

Amount of liquid to be transferred = 50 L 500 mL
Capacity of the container = 2 dL 50 mL
We need to convert the numbers into a single common unit, i.e., milliliter (mL).
The conversion table is as follows:


So, 1 L = 1,000 mL.
Therefore, 50 L = 50 × 1000 = 50,000 mL.

So, the volume of liquid to be transferred = 50,000 + 500 = 50,500 mL.

Similarly,
1 dL = 100 mL


Therefore, 2 dL = 2 $\times$ 100 = 200 mL.

So, the capacity of container is:
= 200 + 50 = 250 mL

Number of times the container will be used to transfer the liquid $=\frac{50,500}{250}=202$
