Answer

We should purchase 3 nebuchadnezzars and 1 methuselah.

Work Step by Step

We can find the volume of one standard bottle: $1~standard~bottle = \frac{11.356~L}{16} = 0.70975~L$ We can find the volume of the receptacle: $V = (40~cm)(40~cm)(30~cm) = 48,000~cm^3$ $V = 48~L$ $V = (48~L)(\frac{1~standard~bottle}{0.70975~L})$ $V = 67.629~standard~bottles$ We should purchase 3 nebuchadnezzars and 1 methuselah for a total of 68 standard bottles in volume.
