Question

There are 100 litres in a hectolitre. How many litres are there in a volume with a measure of 4.8 hectolitres?

Answer 1

Hint:
The hectolitre is the unit to express the volume which is related to the SI unit of volume i.e. litres as-
1 Hectolitre = 100 Litres
Using this we need to solve the problem.

Complete answer:
Let us solve this problem-
Given that,
1 Hectolitre = 100 Litres
We need to calculate volume in litres for 4.8 hectolitres.
By, simple cross multiplication theory we can solve this as;
$\begin{align}
  & 1Hectolitres={{10}^{2}}litres \\
 & 4.8hectolitres=xlitres \\
 & \therefore x=\frac{4.8\times {{10}^{2}}}{1}=4800litres \\
\end{align}$

Note:
Do note that we need to take care of the units while solving any numerical problem; though this problem is simpler then too we need to know the universal unit conversions if they are not mentioned.
Hectolitre in general, is the metric unit of capacity used for wine, grain and other agricultural produce.
