Answer:

The capacity of each bottle is 5.45 of waters or 5 L 450 ML of water

Explanation:

We are told that:

Naina emptied a tank holding 65 L 400 ML of water into 12 bottles.

We have 65 Liters and 400ml , we convert everything to Liters

1000ml = 1 L

400ml = x L

Cross Multiply

1000 × x = 400 × 1 L

x = 400/1000

x = 0.4L

Hence, the total capacity of the tank, is 65L + 0.4L = 65.4L

Since there are 12 bottles, we assume that each bottle are of the same size hence, the capacity of each bottle is

calculated as:

12 bottles = 65.4 L

1 bottles = x

Cross Multiply

12x = 65.4L

x = 65.4L /12

x = 5.45 L

Hence, the capacity of each bottle is 5.45 or 5 Liters, 450 ML
