The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the formula for the remaining quantity of liquid after repeated removals and replacements. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Initial Setup**: - The initial volume of milk in the container is \( A = 80 \) liters. - The volume of milk taken out in each operation is \( b = 8 \) liters. - The number of operations performed is \( n = 3 \). 2. **Understanding the Formula**: - The formula to calculate the remaining quantity of milk after \( n \) operations is: \[ \text{Remaining Milk} = A \left(1 - \frac{b}{A}\right)^n \] - Here, \( \frac{b}{A} \) represents the fraction of milk removed in each operation. 3. **Calculate the Fraction Removed**: - Calculate \( \frac{b}{A} \): \[ \frac{b}{A} = \frac{8}{80} = \frac{1}{10} \] 4. **Substituting Values into the Formula**: - Substitute \( A \), \( b \), and \( n \) into the formula: \[ \text{Remaining Milk} = 80 \left(1 - \frac{1}{10}\right)^3 \] 5. **Simplifying the Expression**: - Simplify \( 1 - \frac{1}{10} \): \[ 1 - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{9}{10} \] - Now substitute this back into the equation: \[ \text{Remaining Milk} = 80 \left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^3 \] 6. **Calculating \( \left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^3 \)**: - Calculate \( \left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^3 \): \[ \left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^3 = \frac{729}{1000} \] 7. **Final Calculation**: - Now multiply by 80: \[ \text{Remaining Milk} = 80 \times \frac{729}{1000} = \frac{58320}{1000} = 58.32 \text{ liters} \] ### Conclusion: The volume of milk remaining in the container after three operations is **58.32 liters**.
