Answer:

40 tubes

Explanation:

1 liter = 1,000 milliliters

2 liters = 2,000 milliliters

3 liters = 3,000 milliliters

A tube of toothpaste = 75 ml

How many tubes can be filled using 3 litres of toothpaste?

Let

x = number of tubes

x tubes of toothpaste = 3000 ml

x = 3000 ml / 75 ml

x = 40

x = number of tubes = 40 tubes
