Question

Mason wants to throw a party, but he can't decide if he should buy cans or bottles of soda. Each can of soda is 12 ounces. How many liters of soda would he have to buy in order to have the same as 25 cans?

Answer 1

Mason would need to buy approximately 8.87 liters of soda to have the same volume as 25 cans, each can having 12 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mason wants to ensure he buys an equivalent amount of soda whether he chooses cans or bottles. To convert the volume from ounces to liters, we need to know the conversion rate: 1 ounce is approximately equal to 0.0295735 liters. Since each can of soda is 12 ounces, we can calculate the total amount of liquid in liters.

• First, multiply the volume of one can by the number of cans: 12 ounces/can × 25 cans = 300 ounces.
• Next, convert ounces to liters using the conversion rate: 300 ounces × 0.0295735 liters/ounce = 8.87205 liters.

Therefore, Mason would need to buy approximately 8.87 liters of soda to have the same amount as 25 cans.
