Answer 1

Given:

The capacity of the bucket to hold milk = litre

The capacity of small bottles = 250 ml

Concept:

1 litre = 1000 ml = 4 x 250 ml

Calculation:

Capacity of milk bucket can hold = litre

⇒ litre = 37 x 1000 ml + (1/4) x 1000 ml = 37250 ml

Number of small that can be filled = (37250/250) = 149 bottles
