Question

There are a total of $21$ cans of pulp with a capacity of $1.5L$ and $2$ cans of water with $2.5L$ each. The total amount of pulp and water is taken into a big can and is equally divided into $50$ small juice boxes. Determine the capacity of each juice box.

• A. $7.5L$
• B. $7.3L$
• C. $1L$
• D. $0.73L$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $0.73L$

Total number of cans of pulp $=21$
Capacity of one can of pulp $=1.5L$
Total number of water cans $=2$
Capacity of one water can $=2.5L$
Total amount of pulp $=$ Total number of cans of pulp $\times$ Capacity of each can of pulp $=21\times 1.5L$
Total amount of pulp $=31.5L$
Total amount of water $=$ Total number of water cans $\times$ Capacity of each water can $=2\times 2.5$Total amount of water $=5L$
Total amount of pulp and water $=$ Total amount of pulp $+$ Total amount of water
$=31.5+5=36.5L$
Total amount of juice $=36.5L$
Number of juice boxes $=50$
Amount of juice in each bottle $=$ Total amount of juice $÷$ Number of bottles $=36.5÷50L$
$36.5÷50=0.73$
Capacity of each bottle $=0.73L$
Hence, option D is correct.
