Answer The five milk measuring cans printed on page 127.
Yes. The milkman uses these five cans to measure milk quickly.
| Can | How many make 1 litre |
|---|---|
| 50 ml | 20 |
| 100 ml | 10 |
| 200 ml | 5 |
| 500 ml | 2 |
| 1000 ml | 1 (it is 1 litre itself) |
1000 ml = 1 l
500 ml + 500 ml = 1000 ml
200 + 200 + 200 + 200 + 200 = 1000 ml
500 ml + 500 ml = 1000 ml
200 + 200 + 200 + 200 + 200 = 1000 ml
Why it happens: The cans are made in sizes that fit neatly into a litre. So the milkman never has to guess — he just dips the right can once or twice.
Tip: If a customer asks for 700 ml, the milkman can use one 500 ml can and one 200 ml can.
