The total mass, in kilograms, of the nails the carpenter bought is 3.9 kilogram

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that carpenter bought 750 nails

Each nail has a mass of 5.2 \times 10^{-3} kilogram

To find: total mass, in kilograms of the nails bought

The total mass of the nails bought can be found out by multiplying number of nails bought by mass of each nail

Number of nails bought = 750

Mass of each nail = 5.2 \times 10^{-3} kilogram

total mass of the nails bought = number of nails bought x mass of each nail

\text {total mass of the nails bought }=750 \times 5.2 \times 10^{-3}

\text {total mass of the nails bought }=3900 \times 10^{-3}=\frac{3900}{1000}=3.9

Thus the total mass of nails bought is 3.9 kilogram

Mrs. Cleaver mixes 1.24 liters of red paint with 3 times as much blue paint to make purple paint. She pours the paint equally in
otez555 [7]

The amount of blue paint in each container is \fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}.

Further explanation:

The mixture mixed by Mrs. Cleaver contains 1.24 litres of red paint with 3 times blue paint to obtain purple paint.

So, the amount of blue paint is calculated as,

{3} \times {1.24}=3.72 \text { liters}

Therefore, the total amount of paint mixture is the sum of blue paint and red paint.

\fbox{\begin \\\begin{aligned} \text{Total paint}= 1.24+3.72\\=4.96 \text{ liters}\\\end{aligned}\\\end{minispace}}

Now, as Mrs. Cleaver divides the paint mixture equally in 5 containers so the amount of paint in one container is calculated as,

\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Amount of paint in one container}&= \dfrac{4.96}{5}\\ &=0.992 \text{ liters} \end {aligned}}

Since amount of blue paint mixed is three times the red paint so the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is \dfrac{3}{4}.  

Now, as it is known that the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is \dfrac{3}{4} and the amount of paint in a container is 0.992 \text{ liters} then the blue paint in one container is calculated as,

\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Blue paint in one container} =\dfrac{3}{4} \times 0.992\\=0.248 \text{ liters}\end{aligned}}

Thus, the amount of blue paint in each of the five containers is \fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}.
