The capacity of a large milk carton is 1 1/2 liters. a dozen large cartons are poured into a container and then poured into small cartons that each hold 3/10 liter. how many small cartons of milk can be filled ?

The capacity of a large milk carton = 1 1/2 liters.

Total number of pounds of a dozen large cartons = 12 × 1 1/2 liters.

A small carton capacity =  3/10 liter.

Total number of small cartons of milk can be filled  = Total number of pounds of a dozen large cartons ÷  a small carton capacity.

= 18 ÷   3/10.

= 27 cartoons.

answer: -2+√x,-2-√x
