Question

A factory makes 1500 cans per minute. The factory makes cans for 8 hours each day. Each can is filled with 330 ml of Cola. How much Cola is needed to fill all the cans that are made each day?

Give your answer in litres.

Answer 1

Number of cans made by the factory per minute = 1500
Number of hours for which the factory makes cans = 8 hours
= (8 * 60) minutes
= 480 minutes
Then
Number of cans made by the factory in 480 minutes = 1500 * 480
= 720000 cans
Amount of cola in 1 can = 330 ml
Amount of cola required to fill 720000 cans = 330 * 720000 ml
= 237600000 ml
So 237600000 ml of cola is required to fill 720000 cans made by the factory.

Answer 2

8 hours = 8* 60 min= 480 min.

1500 cans/ 1 min* (480 min/ 1day) = 720,000 cans/ day.

720,000 cans* (330 mL Cola/ 1 can) = 237,600,000 mL Cola.
= 237,600 L Cola.

The final answer is 237,600 L Cola.

Hope this helps~
