Question

How many liters are in 15.1 fluid ounces of a soft drink? (1 fl oz = 28.35 ml)

b. 5 × 102 l
a. 5 × 10–4 l
e. 0.428 l
c. 4 × 105 l
d. 4 × 102 l?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is Option e.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Volume of fluid = 15.1 fluid ounces

To convert the given volume into mili-liters, we use the conversion factor:

1 fl oz = 28.35 mL

So,
`15.1\text{ fl oz}=15.1\text{ fl oz}* (\frac{28.35mL}{1\text{ fl oz}})=428.085mL`

Now, converting this volume into liters, we use the conversion factor:

1 L = 1000 mL

So,
`428.085mL=428.085mL* ((1L)/(1000mL))=0.428L`

Hence, the correct answer is Option e.

Answer 2

Volume of the given soft drink = 15.1 fluid ounces i.e. 15.1 fl oz

Step 1: Convert fl oz to ml

1 fl oz = 28.35 ml

Therefore the volume in ml corresponding to 15.1 fl oz is

= 15.1 fl oz * 28.35 ml/1 fl oz = 428.09 ml

Step 2: Convert the volume from ml to liters

1000 ml = 1 liter

Therefore, the volume in liters corresponding to 428.09 ml is

= 428.09 ml * 1 L/1000 ml = 4.28 * 10^-5 L

There is 4*10^-5 L in 15.1 fl oz of the soft drink
