Question

Margaret has some goats.

The goats produce an average of 21.7litres of milk a day for 280 days.
She sells the milk in half litre bottles.
Work out an estimate for the number of bottles Margaret will be able to fill with the milk.

Answer 1

To estimate the number of bottles Margaret can fill, multiply the daily milk production (21.7 liters) by the number of production days (280) to get the total milk produced, then divide this by the volume of one bottle (0.5 liters) to determine the number of bottles (12152).

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimating Number of Bottles from Milk Production

Margaret has goats that produce an average of 21.7 liters of milk a day for 280 days. The key task here is to estimate how many half-liter bottles could be filled with this amount of milk. Since each bottle holds half a liter, we need to calculate the total volume of milk and then divide it by the volume of one bottle, which is 0.5 liters.

1. Calculate the total milk production: 21.7 liters/day × 280 days = 6076 liters.
2. Calculate the number of half-liter bottles: 6076 liters ÷ 0.5 liter/bottle = 12152 bottles.

Therefore, Margaret would be able to fill an estimated 12152 half-liter bottles with the milk produced.

Answer 2

21.7 L/day

280 day

0.5 L/bottle ,therefore,it's not hard to tell, the answer is 21.7*280/0.5
