Question

Margaret has some goats. The goats produce an average total of 21.7 litres of milk per day for 280 days. Margaret sells the milk in 12 litre bottles. Work out an estimate for the total number of bottles that Margaret will be able to fill with the milk. You must show clearly how you got your estimate. ​

Answer 1

506 bottles

Explanation:

21.7 * 280 = 6076 litters

6076/12 = 506.33333……. = 506 bottles

(0.33333 is less than 0.55555)

Answer 2

The answer is 506.3 bottles because 21.7 liters a day for 280 days is 6,076 liters and then when you divide that into the number of 12 liter bottles you get 506.3
