Final answer:
The total volume of cough syrup after mixing 1,550 mL of syrup, 725 mL of cherry flavor, and 1.25 liters of water is 3.525 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks about the total volume of the cough syrup after mixing all components. To find this, we need to convert all measurements to the same units and then add them together. We have 1,550 milliliters of syrup, 725 milliliters of cherry flavor, and 1.25 liters of water. First, we note that 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters. Thus, we convert 1.25 liters of water to milliliters by multiplying 1.25 by 1,000, resulting in 1,250 milliliters.
Now, we can sum up all the milliliters:
- Syrup: 1,550 mL
- Cherry flavor: 725 mL
- Water: 1,250 mL
Adding these gives us 1,550 + 725 + 1,250 = 3,525 milliliters.
To convert the total milliliters back into liters, we divide by 1,000:
3,525 mL ÷ 1,000 = 3.525 liters.
Hence, the total volume of the cough syrup mixture is 3.525 liters.
