Question

Tony is the owner of Squeaky Clean Window Washing Company. To make his window-cleaning solution, Tony mixes 7 liters of concentrated window cleaner with 5 liters of water. Then, he uses the solution to fill a set of three 800-milliliter bottles. How many times will Tony be able to fill the set of bottles?

Answer 1

Tony can fill the set of three 800-milliliter bottles with his window-cleaning solution 5 times after mixing 7 liters of concentrated window cleaner with 5 liters of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many times Tony will be able to fill the set of three 800-milliliter bottles with his window-cleaning solution, we'll first determine the total volume of the solution he has prepared.

Tony mixes 7 liters of concentrated window cleaner with 5 liters of water, giving us a total volume of:

1. 7 liters + 5 liters = 12 liters

However, this measurement is in liters and we need to convert it to milliliters (mL) since the bottle capacity is given in milliliters. We know that 1 liter is equivalent to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, the total volume in milliliters will be:

1. 12 liters × 1000 milliliters/liter = 12000 milliliters

Now, we'll calculate the number of times he can fill the set of three 800-milliliter bottles:

1. Total capacity for the set of three bottles: 3 × 800 milliliters = 2400 milliliters
2. Number of times Tony can fill the set of bottles: 12000 milliliters / 2400 milliliters per set = 5

Therefore, Tony can fill the set of three 800-milliliter bottles with his window-cleaning solution 5 times.
