Question

Use a proportion and the conversion to convert between metric and customary units.

Mom made 1.5 L of chicken noodle soup. She has a container that will hold 50 ounces. Can Mom’s soup fit in the container? Show your work and explain your reasoning. (1 L = 33.8 oz)

If you do not show your work, you will NOT get credit. Showing work does not mean writing the answer. I need to see a proportion, as well as any multiplication/division you did.
pls help im failing

Answer 1

To determine if Mom's 1.5 L of chicken noodle soup can fit in the container that holds 50 ounces, we need to convert the volume to the same unit and use a proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if Mom's 1.5 L of chicken noodle soup can fit in the container that holds 50 ounces, we need to convert the volume to the same unit. We can use the conversion factor 1 L = 33.8 oz to convert liters to ounces.

First, we set up a proportion:

1 L / 33.8 oz = 1.5 L / x oz

Cross-multiply and solve for x:

1 * x = 1.5 * 33.8

x = 50.7 oz

Since the container can hold 50 ounces, it is not large enough to fit Mom's soup, which is 50.7 ounces.
