Question

The Pharmacist has 3 Liters (L) of medicine. If the Pharmacist can use that to make 5 bottles of medicine, how many milliliters (ml) are in each bottle?

a) 500 ml
b) 600 ml
c) 700 ml
d) 800 ml

Answer 1

To find how many milliliters are in each bottle when the pharmacist has 3 liters of medicine for 5 bottles, convert liters to milliliters and then divide by the number of bottles. This calculation shows that each bottle contains 600 ml of medicine.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to determine the volume of medicine in milliliters per bottle if a pharmacist has 3 liters (L) of medicine to fill 5 bottles. We know that there are 1000 milliliters (ml) in 1 liter. Thus, to find the contents of one bottle, we convert liters to milliliters and then divide by the number of bottles.

Firstly, we perform the conversion:

• 3 L × 1000 ml/L = 3000 ml

Next, we divide the total milliliters by the number of bottles, giving us the volume per bottle:

• 3000 ml / 5 bottles = 600 ml per bottle

Therefore, each bottle contains 600 ml of medicine.
