Question

mei has 8 jars of soup .Each jar contains 300 milliliters of soup. What is the smallest pot Mei can use to heat all the soup

Answer 1

Mei has 8 jars and each is 300ml

so she will need to times 8 by 300ml = 2400ml.

She needs a pot that holds 2400ml at least

(Actually, she needs a bigger pot because it needs to hold 2400ml so if the pot is that size the liquid will spill)

Answer 2

the smallest container which can contain soup of 8 jar will be of size 2400 milliliters

Explanation:

Mei has soup = 8 jars

Jar contains soup = 300 milliliters

to calculate the smallest post needed to heat all the soup together.

The container should be able to incorporate the 8 jars hence the smallest size of container will be

= number of jar × soup quantity

= 8 × 300

= 2400 milliliters

hence, the smallest container which can contain a soup of 8 jars will be of size 2400 milliliters.
