Question

Someone please help! My homework is due tomorrow! William bought a 0.5-liter bottle of liquid plant food. He uses 40 milliliters a week. What measurements are given? Are the same units used for each measurement? Explain. Also, explain how you can convert one of the measurements so that both use the same unit. How much plant food does William need for 12 weeks, explain. Is one bottle enough for 12 weeks. Give a clear answer.​

Answer 1

0.5 Liters

40 Milliliters

No, because milliliters and liters are different units of measurement.

480ml

Yes, because the liquid plant food that William bought has a total of 500ml

Explanation:

The measurements that are given are:

0.5 Liters

40 Milliliters

No, because milliliters and liters are different units of measurement.

We can convert the liters to millilliters by using the formula

mL = L/0.0010000

mL = 0.5/0.001000

mL = 500ml

To find how much plant food William needs for 12 weeks, we simply multiply the amount of plant food per week by 12.

12 x 40ml = 480ml

Yes, because the liquid plant food that William bought has a total of 500ml

500ml - 480ml = 20ml

William will still have an excess of 20ml.
