Answer 1

To find out how many liters of soup are needed for 100 guests, with each guest getting 375 milliliters, multiply the number of guests by the soup per person and then convert from milliliters to liters. The calculation results in Devon needing 37.5 liters of soup for the party.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question involves calculating the total amount of soup needed for a party with 100 guests, given that each guest should receive 375 milliliters of soup. To find the total amount of soup in liters, we multiply the number of guests by the amount of soup per person and then convert milliliters into liters. Since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter, we can use this information to convert our final amount.

Step-by-Step Calculation

• Firstly, calculate the total amount of soup in milliliters by multiplying the number of guests by the amount of soup per person: 100 guests × 375 milliliters/guest = 37,500 milliliters.
• Then, convert the total amount of soup to liters by dividing by the number of milliliters in a liter: 37,500 milliliters ÷ 1,000 milliliters/liter = 37.5 liters.

Therefore, Devon will need to make 37.5 liters of soup for the party.
