Question

A jar contains 734 L of milk. After packing the milk in 20 packets of equal capacity, 14 L of milk was still left in the jar. What is the quantity of milk in each of the smaller packets?

Answer 1

It would be 36 L in each one

Answer 2

`36\text{ liters}`

Explanation:

After the 20 packets of milk were packed from the 734 L of milk in the jar, 14 L of milk were still lift. Therefore,
`734-14=720` liters of milk were used to pack the 20 packets.

Since it is given in the problem that each packet of milk contained the same amount of milk, each packet of milk must have had:

`(720)/(20)=\boxed{36}` liters of milk.
