Calculation of Maximum Capacity of Drum for Milk Distribution
Given:- Two milk containers with capacities of 398 litre and 436 litre respectively
- 7 litre and 11 litre of milk left in both the containers respectively after transferring to other containers
Step 1: Calculate the Total Milk
To calculate the total milk available, we need to subtract the amount of milk left in each container from their respective capacities and then add them together:
Total Milk = (398 - 7) + (436 - 11)
Total Milk = 821 litres
Step 2: Calculate the Maximum Capacity of the Drum
To find out the maximum capacity of the drum that can be used for milk distribution, we need to consider the fact that the drum should be able to hold the total milk available and still have some space left to avoid spillage or overflow.
Let's assume that the drum can be filled up to 90% of its capacity to avoid spillage or overflow.
Therefore, the maximum capacity of the drum can be calculated as follows:
Maximum Capacity of Drum = Total Milk / 0.9
Maximum Capacity of Drum = 821 / 0.9
Maximum Capacity of Drum = 912.22 litres (approx.)
Step 3: Conclusion
Therefore, the maximum capacity of the drum that can be used for milk distribution is approximately 912.22 litres. This means that Aakriti can use a drum with a capacity of at least 912.22 litres to distribute the milk to the orphanage without any spillage or overflow.
