Question

Reece drinks one pint of milk a day. He buys milk in 2 litre containers.

How many containers does he need for a week?

Use 134
pints = 1 litre

Answer 1

Answer: He need 2 containers .

Explanation:

Given: Reece drinks one pint of milk a day.

Since 1 pinch = 0.4732 liter

i.e. Milk required for each day = 0.4732 liter

Milk required for 7 days = 7 x (0.4732 ) liters

= 3.3124 liters

Milk required for 1 week = 3.3124 liters

Milk in each container = 2 liters

Number of containers required = (Milk required for 1 week ) ÷ (Milk in each container)

= 3.3124 ÷ 2

= 1.6562 ≈ 2

Hence, he need 2 containers .
