Question

Caleb's recipe calls for 2 cups of an ingredient. His measuring bowl only has measurements marked in liters. Caleb knows that one cup is approximately 240 milliliters. Determine the number of liters of that ingredient that Caleb needs for his recipe.

Answer 1

If Caleb needs 2 cups and each cup has 240 mililiters, then he will need 480 mililiters

`2\cdot240=480`

After that, it is necessary to convert mililiters to liters, remember 1 liter equals 1000 mililiters

`480ml\cdot((1l)/(1000ml))=0.48l`

Caleb needs 0.48 liters for his recipe
