Question

Margo boils 500 L of water to make 80 g of the pasta is Margo boils 2500 mL of water how many grams of pasta can she make?

Answer 1

She boils 500 L of water and makes 80 grams, we are being asked to covert and solve for how many grams of pasta she will make if she boils 2500 mL.

The first think we need to do is convert 2500 mL to how many Liters.

2500 mL = ? how many liters.

2500 ml = 2.5 liters

Now, we need to set up a proportion to see how many grams we can make if we boiled 2.5 liters of water.

Set up a proportion.

500/80 = 2.5/x

First, we cross multiply.

500*x = 80*2.5
500x = 200

Now, divide each side by 500 to solve for x.

500x/500 = 200/500
x= 0.4

Final answer: Margo can make 0.4 grams of pasta if he boils 2500 mL of water.

Answer 2

First lets look at the information we have:-

♥ 500 L = 80 g of pasta
♥ 2500 ML = ? g of pasta.

☺ First we will convert 2500 ML to L.

♥ 1 ML = 0.001 L
♥ 2500 × 0.001 = 2.50

☺ Now we will set up a proportion to get the final answer.

♥
`(500)/(80) = (2.5)/(x)`
♥ Now we will multiply.
♥ 80 × 2.5 = 200
♥ Now we will divide.
♥ 200 ÷ 500 = 0.4
♥ x = 0.4

☺ So, She can make 0.4 g of pasta if she boils 2500 mL.
