Final answer:
The 1.5 L of soup is slightly more (50.7 oz) than the container can hold (50 oz), so it will not fit. For the catering problem, Devon needs to make 37.5 liters of soup for 100 guests.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks if 1.5 liters (L) of chicken noodle soup can fit into a container that holds 50 ounces. First, we will convert liters to ounces using the given conversion rate (1 L = 33.8 oz). Multiplying 1.5 L by 33.8 oz/L gives us:
1.5 L × 33.8 oz/L = 50.7 oz
Since 50.7 oz is slightly more than the container's capacity of 50 oz, the soup will not fit in the container. Now, let's address Devon's catering problem. Devon needs to calculate the amount of soup for 100 guests with a serving size of 375 milliliters (mL) per person.
Total amount of soup in milliliters:
375 mL/guest × 100 guests = 37,500 mL
To convert milliliters to liters, divide by 1,000 since 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters.
Total amount of soup in liters:
37,500 mL ÷ 1,000 = 37.5 L
Therefore, Devon will be making 37.5 liters of soup for the party.
