Question

Answer 1

225 liters for each horse over 5 days,making it 900 for 5 days for all

Answer 2

Answer: 900 liters

Explanation:

Given : Four horses are pulling a wagon.

Each horse drinks 45,000 milliliter of water each day.

We know that 1 liter = 1000 milliliters

Then, 1 milliliter=
`(1)/(1000)` liter

⇒45,000 milliliters =
`(45,000)/(1000)=45` liters

i.e. Each horse drinks 45 liters of water each day.

Then, amount of water drunk by 4 horses each day =
`45*4\text{ liters}=180\text{ liters}`

⇒ Amount of horses will drink in 5 days =
`180*5=900\text{ liters}`

Hence, the horse will drink 900 liters of water in 5 days.
