Question

A tank contains 975 ltrs 800 ml water find the maximum number of jugs that can be filled if each jug can hold 3 ltrs 500 ml of water ?

Answer 1

Answer:
A tank contains water = 975 lt 800 ml = 975.800 lt

A jug can hold water = 3 lt 500 ml = 3.500 lt
​
​The maximum number of jugs that can be filled = $\frac{Totalwater}{onejugcontainswater}$

= $\frac{975.800}{3.500}$

= 278 .8

As 279${}^{th}$ jug is not full .
So we can say that tank can fill maximum 278 jugs . (Ans)
