Question

In Don Javier's milking, milk is collected in two containers, one with a 300-liter capacity and one with 180 liters, if they are filled with 15 and 20-liter jugs. Which of the pitchers exactly fill the containers without milk being left over or missing?

Answer 1

Both Pitchers

Explanation:

First, we determine how many of each pitcher it would take to fill the 300 liter and 180 liter containers.

300÷15=20 of the 15 liter pitcher

300÷20=15 of the 20 liter pitcher

Similarly

180÷15=12 of the 15 liter pitcher.

180÷20=9 of the 20 liter pitcher.

The two pitchers gives a whole number when their volumes divide the volumes of the containers.

Therefore, the two pitchers exactly fill the containers without milk being left over.
