Section 1/5
Milk Cooperative Society
Four farmers from Ponna village supply milk to the cooperative society in the following quantities:
Laxmi
12 L 500 ml
Ramaiah
9 L
Rahim
8 L 800 ml
Jani
10 L 700 ml
a
Arrange the names of the farmers in the order of the quantity of milk supplied from highest to lowest.
Solution:
First, convert all quantities to litres:
- Laxmi: 12 L 500 ml = 12.5 L
- Ramaiah: 9 L = 9.0 L
- Rahim: 8 L 800 ml = 8.8 L
- Jani: 10 L 700 ml = 10.7 L
Now arrange from highest to lowest:
b
What is the total quantity of milk supplied by the farmers of Ponna village?
Solution:
Total = 12.5 L + 9.0 L + 8.8 L + 10.7 L
c
If the cooperative society pays ₹ 20 per litre to the farmers, how much money will Rahim get?
Hint: What part of a litre is 800 ml? (800 ml = 0.8 L)
Solution:
Rahim supplied: 8 L 800 ml = 8.8 L
Payment per litre: ₹ 20
Rahim's payment = 8.8 × 20
d
If 12 villages supply the same amount of milk in a day as Ponna village, then how much milk will the cooperative society collect in a day?
Solution:
Total from Ponna village = (from part b)
Total from 12 villages = 12 × (Ponna village total)
