Question

You need to mix 42 kilograms of mortar. Each kilogram of mortar mix requires 0.03 liters of water. How many liters of water do you need? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a liter)

a) 1.2 liters
b) 1.4 liters
c) 1.6 liters
d) 1.8 liters

Answer 1

To mix 42 kilograms of mortar, you will need approximately 1.2 liters of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of water needed to mix 42 kilograms of mortar, we can multiply the weight of the mortar mix by the volume of water required per kilogram. Given that each kilogram of mortar mix requires 0.03 liters of water, we can calculate the total amount of water needed by multiplying 42 (kilograms) by 0.03 (liters/kilogram). This gives us 1.26 liters of water. Rounding this value to the nearest tenth of a liter, the answer is 1.2 liters.
