Question

Answer 1

0.055

Explanation:

Answer 2

First, let's calculate how many liters of juice are in the punch bowl:

2 + 3.5 = 5.5

One hectoliter is equal to 100 liters. Based on this knowledge, we can set up an equation like this:


`(1)/(100) = (x)/(5.5)`

It states that one hectoliter is 100 liters and that x hectoliters is 5.5 liters. To solve, we can use cross-multiplication:


`100x = 5.5`

`x = 0.055`

There are 0.055 hectoliters in the punchbowl.
