Question

Two vessels contain 20 liters and 60 liters of milk respectively. What is the amount that each vessel would have if both share the milk equally?

Answer 1

The average or the arithmetic mean would be 

= `"Total quantity of milk"/"Number of vessels"`

= `(20 + 60)/2` litres

= 40 litres.

Thus, each vessel would have 40 liters of milk.
