Question

A vessel has 4 liters and 500 ml of curd. In how many glasses, each of 25 ml capacity, can it be filled?

Please answer

Answer 1

Explanation:

easy to look up : mili stands for 1/1000

so,

500 ml are 500/1000 liters.

25 ml are 25/1000 liters (a tiny glass).

and 1 Iiter is of course, 1000/1000 liters (1000 ml).

4 liters 500 ml are then

4×1000/1000 + 500/1000 = 4500/1000 l = 4500 ml.

how many glasses of 25 ml can be filled with that ?

this is the same question as into how many parts of 25 can 4500 be split ? or, how often does 25 fit into 4500 ?

all this is done by division :

4500 / 25 = 180

so, 180 of such glasses can be filled.
