6 bottles are filled with the coconut oil in a can. Each bottle contains 0.478 litres. How much oil was in the can, in litres?

Explanation

Measure of oil each bottle contains = `0.475` litre Measure of oil was in thẻ can `=6` xx `0.475`

`0.475` litre `=475` millilitres 6 xx 475=475 xx 6=2850`

2850 milliitres `=(2850)/(1000)` litre `=2.85` litres

That is, `2.85` litres of oil was in the can. Another method

`0.475 xx 6=(475)/(1000) xx 6=(28500)/(1000)`

`(28500)/(1000)=28.5`

` 0.475 xx 6=28.5`
