Answer 1

60.75

Explanation:

i am right just took the test and 10,800 am is wrong

Answer 2

10800 cm³ oil can the small container carry.

Option (A) is correct .

Explanation:

The scale factor is defined by

`Scale\ factor = (Small\ volume)/(Large\ volume )`

As given

The scale factor of a large oil container to a small oil container is 0.075.

The large oil container can carry 144,000 cm³ of oil.

Scale factor = 0.075

Larger volume = 144000 cm³

Put in the above

`0.075 = (Small\ volume)/(144000)`

Small volume = 144000 × 0.075

Small volume = 10800 cm³

Therefore 10800 cm³ oil can the small container carry.

Option (A) is correct .
