Question

Anna poured 4 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. 5L 500 mL
• B. 9L 200 mL
• C. 4L 800 mL
• D. 8L 600 mL

Answer 1

The correct option is D 8L 600 mL

Capacity of a jug = 2L 150 mL

$\therefore$ The capacity of 4 jugs is found by multiplying 2L 150 mL by 4.
$$\begin{array}{ccccccccc}& & & L& & & mL& & \\ & & & & & 2& & & \\ & & & 2& & 1& 5& 0& \\ & \times & & & & & & 4& \\ & & & 8& & 6& 0& 0& \end{array}$$

Thus, Anna poured 8L 600 mL of water into the container.
