Question

Sam counted 12 liters of hand sanitizer in the storage cabinet . He fills the seven of the examination rooms as follows : 350 mL , 600 mL , 475 mL, 580 720 , and 500 mL .a)How many total milliliters did sam use to fill the dispensers?B) After filling the dispensers, how many liters of sanitizer remain in the storage cabinet?

Answer 1

a) To know the total millilites that sam use to fil the dispenser, we will have to add all the seven amount filled as shown;

Total (in milliliters) = 350 mL + 600 mL + 475 mL + 580mL + 720mL + 500 mL

Total (in milliliters) = 3225mL

Hence the total milliliters that sam use to fill the dispensers is 3225millilitres

b) The amount liters of sanitizer remaining will be 12litres - 3225mL

Convert 3225mL to litres

3225mL = 3225/1000 Litres

3225mL = 3.225litres

The amount liters of sanitizer remaining = 12 - 3.225

The amount liters of sanitizer remaining = 8.775litres
