Answer:

The capacity of milk in 1 bottle is 2.99 liters

Explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ Sammy bought 15.3 liters of milk

∵ She poured the milk equally into 5 bottles

∵ There were 0.35 liters of milk leftover

→ At first, subtract the leftover from the quantity she bought to

find the capacity of the five bottles

∴ The capacity of the 5 bottles = 15.3 - 0.35

∴ The capacity of the 5 bottles = 14.95 liters

→ To find the capacity of each bottle divide the total capacity by 5

∴ The capacity in one bottle = 14.95 ÷ 5

∴ The capacity in one bottle = 2.99 liters

The capacity of milk in 1 bottle is 2.99 liters
