Question
Miko helped fill water bottles for athletes during the school sports meeting. The capacity of a bottle was 528 litres. What is the smallest number of such bottles she needed to hold 14 litres of water?
Solution
The question seems to have a mistake. A bottle with a capacity of 528 litres is extremely large, especially for athletes during a sports meeting. It's more likely that the bottle capacity is 528 millilitres (ml), not litres.
Assuming the bottle capacity is 528 ml (which is equivalent to 0.528 litres), here's how you can calculate the smallest number of such bottles needed to hold 14 litres of water:
-
First, convert the litres to the same unit as the bottle capacity. In this case, convert 14 litres to millilitres. Since 1 litre = 1000 millilitres, 14 litres = 14,000 millilitres.
-
Next, divide the total amount of water by the capacity of each bottle to find out how many bottles are needed. So, 14,000 ml ÷ 528 ml/bottle = approximately 26.52 bottles.
-
Since you can't have a fraction of a bottle, you would need to round up to the next whole number. So, Miko would need 27 bottles to hold 14 litres of water.
