Question

There are a total of $15$ water cans with a capacity of $2.2L$ each. The total quantity of water is taken into a big can and is equally divided into $12$ bottles. Determine the capacity of each bottle.

• A. $2.25L$
• B. $4.25L$
• C. $3.25L$
• D. $2.75L$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $2.75L$

Total number of cans $=15$
Capacity of each can $=2.2L$
Total quantity of water $=$ Total number of cans $\times$ Capacity of each can $=15\times 2.2$
Total amount of water $=33L$
Number of bottles $=12$
Amount of water in each bottle $=$ Total amount of water $÷$Number of bottles $=33÷12L$$33÷12=2.75$
Capacity of each bottle $=2.75L$
Hence, option B is correct.
