Both Pitchers

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we determine how many of each pitcher it would take to fill the 300 liter and 180 liter containers.

300:15=20 of the 15 liter pitcher

300:20=15 of the 20 liter pitcher

Similarly

180:15=12 of the 15 liter pitcher.

180:20=9 of the 20 liter pitcher.

The two pitchers gives a whole number when their volumes divide the volumes of the containers.

Therefore, the two pitchers exactly fill the containers without milk being left over.
