Question

A barrel with a 60 liter capacity is half full. We can transfer all that liquid into 240 bottles with a quarter liter of capacity.
True False

Answer 1

$\frac{1}{4}$Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A barrel with a 60 liter capacity is half full, therefore there are 30 liters in the barrel.

If we use 240 bottles with a capacity of 1/4 liters, how many liters do we need to fill the 240 bottles?

240 x $\frac{1}{4}$L = $\frac{240}{4}$ = 60L

Therefore, it is false because we only have 30 liters, we can't fill the 240 bottles
