Question

You prepare 1000. mL of tea and transfer it to a 1.00 quart pitcher for storage. Which of the following statements is true?

1) The pitcher will be filled to 100%
2) The pitcher will be filled to about 95%
3) The pitcher will be filled to about 50%
4) The pitcher will be completely filled and a small amount of tea will overflow.
5) The pitcher will be completely filled and most of the tea will overflow.

Answer 1

The pitcher will be filled to about 95%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pitcher will be filled to about 95%.

To understand this, let's convert the volume of the tea from milliliters to quarts. One quart is equal to 946.353 milliliters. Therefore, 1000 milliliters is approximately equal to 1.057 quarts.

Since the pitcher has a capacity of 1 quart, it will be filled to about 95% when approximately 1.057 quarts of tea are transferred to it. This means that a small amount of tea would be left out, which is less than 5% of the total volume.
