At a temporary field station, water is processed in batches before it is sterilised. The station processes 120 m3120\ \mathrm{m^{3}}120 m3 in each batch and completes 6 batches per day for 7 days.
Chlorine is added at a dose of 2.0 mg per dm3\mathrm{dm^{3}}dm3.
The chlorine is supplied in full drums, each containing 10 kg.
1 m3=1000 dm31\ \mathrm{m^{3}} = 1000\ \mathrm{dm^{3}}1 m3=1000 dm3
1 kg=1 000 000 mg1\ \mathrm{kg} = 1\,000\,000\ \mathrm{mg}1 kg=1000000 mg
Calculate the minimum number of full drums of chlorine needed for the seven days.
