Question

On a regular night at the Grass Skirt Tiki Lounge, bartender Taylor makes approximately 329 tiki drinks. If each drink requires, on average, 72 ice cubes calculate the mass of ice Taylor uses in pounds. Density of ice = 0.92 g/mL, volume of an ice cube = 5.71 mL. Report answer to 0 decimal places.

Answer 1

To calculate the mass of ice Taylor uses in pounds, multiply the number of ice cubes used by the volume of each ice cube, and then convert the volume to mass using the density of ice.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mass of ice Taylor uses in pounds, we first need to calculate the total mass of the ice cubes. Each drink requires 72 ice cubes, so the total number of ice cubes used is 329 x 72 = 23,688 ice cubes.

The volume of each ice cube is given as 5.71 mL, so the total volume of the ice cubes is 23,688 x 5.71 mL. To convert this volume to mass, we use the density of ice, which is given as 0.92 g/mL.

Mass of ice = Volume of ice x Density of ice = (23,688 x 5.71 mL) x 0.92 g/mL.
