Correct Answer :

Option A

12 L 750 mL

12 L 750 mL

Solution :

The correct option/answer is 12 L 750 mL.

To find the quantity of milk in 15 bottles, we can use the unitary method. This involves first finding the quantity of milk in a single bottle and then multiplying that quantity by 15.

Step 1: Convert the total quantity of milk into a single unit (milliliters).
We are given that the total quantity of milk is 24 L 650 mL.
Since 1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL):
24 L =24 ×1000 mL =24000 mL
Now, add the remaining 650 mL:
Total milk =24000 mL +650 mL =24650 mL

Step 2: Find the quantity of milk in one bottle.
The total quantity of milk (24650 mL) is filled equally into 29 bottles.
Quantity in 1 bottle =2465029 mL
Performing the division:
24650 ÷29 =850 mL
So, each bottle contains 850 mL of milk.

Step 3: Find the quantity of milk in 15 bottles.
To find the milk in 15 bottles, multiply the capacity of one bottle by 15:
Quantity in 15 bottles =850 mL ×15
850 ×15 =12750 mL

Step 4: Convert the result back into liters and milliliters.
To convert 12750 mL back into liters and milliliters, we divide by 1000:
12750 mL =12000 mL +750 mL
12750 mL =12 L 750 mL

Thus, the quantity of milk in 15 such bottles is 12 L 750 mL.
