Question

Slushies cost $0.25 per fluid ounce (fl oz) in the US. How much would it be for a gallon of slushies in England? $1 = 0.60 £ (British pound)

a. £30
b. £45
c. £75
d. £90

Answer 1

First, we need to know how many fluid ounces are in a gallon. There are approximately 128 fluid ounces in a gallon.

So, the cost of a gallon of slushies in the US would be 128 fl oz * $0.25/fl oz = $32.

Then, we convert this to British pounds using the given exchange rate: 32∗0.60£/ = £19.20.

Therefore, none of the provided options are correct. The cost of a gallon of slushies in England would be approximately £19.20, given the current exchange rate and the price per fluid ounce in the US.

Answer 2

The cost comes to £19.20, which doesn't match any of the provided options, suggesting a possible error in the question's options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the cost of a gallon of slushies in England, with the cost given in U.S. dollars and the need to convert it to British pounds. To solve this, we can use unit conversions and currency exchange rates.

Firstly, we know that there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon. Since slushies cost $0.25 per fluid ounce, a gallon would cost 128 fl oz × $0.25/fl oz = $32. Next, we need to convert this amount into British pounds using the given exchange rate of $1 = 0.60£. Therefore, £1 = $1 / 0.60. Now, we can find out how much $32 is in pounds: $32 × (0.60£/$1) = £19.20. However, since the options provided for the answer do not match this result, we need to check for any possible misunderstanding or error in the initially provided options.

If we consider the provided options, none of them match the calculated amount of £19.20, which could mean that there may have been an error in the question or the options provided.
