Divide 1800litre of water between the three washing machine A,B and C in the ratio 180:120:30

Answer 1

To divide the water in the ratio of 180:120:30, we first calculate the total number of parts:

180 + 120 + 30 = 330

Then, we divide the total amount of water by the total number of parts to find out the value of one part:

1800 / 330 ≈ 5.45

Now, we multiply this value by the ratio for each washing machine to determine how much water each machine will receive:

Machine A: 180 parts * 5.45 = 981 liters
Machine B: 120 parts * 5.45 = 654 liters
Machine C: 30 parts * 5.45 = 163.5 liters

Therefore, washing machine A will receive 981 liters, machine B will receive 654 liters, and machine C will receive 163.5 liters of water.
