Question

3. The mother buys 1/250 ml of milk in the morning and 2/ 375m/ in the evening. How much milk does she buy in a day?

​

Answer 1

The mother buys a total of 1.17 liters of milk in a day after correcting the fractions from the original question and adding the quantities purchased in the morning and evening.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much milk the mother buys in a day, we need to add the quantities of milk she buys in the morning and the evening. The typo in the original question seems to indicate fractional values, so let's correct them and use the fractions correctly.

In the morning, she buys 1/2 or 0.5 liters of milk (assuming that 250 ml is equivalent to 1/4 liter, so the fraction likely meant to be 1/2), and in the evening, she buys 2/3 of a liter of milk (assuming that 375 ml is equivalent to 3/8 liter, so the fraction likely meant to be 2/3).

Let's calculate the total amount of milk purchased:

1. Add the two quantities together: 0.5 liters + 2/3 liters.
2. Convert 2/3 to a decimal to make addition easier: 2/3 is approximately 0.67 liters.
3. Add the decimals: 0.5 + 0.67 = 1.17 liters.

Therefore, the mother buys a total of 1.17 liters of milk in a day.
