Q. A milk jug holds 2,5752,575 liters when it is half empty. The jug is currently 15\frac{1}{5} full. How many kiloliters of milk is currently in the jug?
  1. Calculate Full Jug Capacity: The jug is half empty at 2,5752,575 liters, so when full it holds 2,5752,575 liters ×2\times 2.\newlineCalculation: 2,575×2=5,1502,575 \times 2 = 5,150 liters.
  2. Find Amount in 1/51/5 Full: The jug is 1/51/5 full, so we need to find 1/51/5 of the total capacity.\newlineCalculation: 5,1505,150 liters ∗(1/5)=1,030*(1/5) = 1,030 liters.
  3. Convert to Kiloliters: Convert liters to kiloliters because 11 kiloliter =1,000= 1,000 liters.\newlineCalculation: 1,0301,030 liters // 1,000=1.031,000 = 1.03 kiloliters.
