question_answer 16)

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

Answer:

                Given, capacity of vessel = 4 L 500 mL = 4 x 1000 + 500 = 4000 + 500 = 4500 mL [\[\because \] 1 L= 1000 ml] and capacity of one glass = 25 mL \[\therefore \] Number of glasses of curd filled out of vessel \[\text{=}\frac{\text{Capacity}\,\text{of}\,\text{a}\,\text{vessel}}{\text{Capacity}\,\text{of}\,\text{a}\,\text{glass}}=\frac{4500}{25}=180\] Hence, curd can be filled in 180 glasses.
