Question

How many pumps of syrup are in a venti cold macchiato?

Answer 1

The total volume of mixed cough syrup, all individual volumes are converted to liters and added together, resulting in a total volume of 3.525 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the total volume of a mixed cough syrup solution which includes various components like syrup, cherry flavor, and water. To calculate the total volume, we add the individual volumes together. Starting with the syrup, we have 1,550 milliliters (mL), the cherry flavor is 725 mL, and the water is 1.25 liters (L).


Since we want the total in liters, we should convert milliliters to liters by dividing by 1,000 (since 1L = 1,000mL). Therefore, the syrup is 1.550 L and the cherry flavor is 0.725 L.

Step-by-Step Calculation

1. Convert the syrup volume to liters: 1,550 mL / 1,000 = 1.550 L.
   
   
2. Convert the cherry flavor volume to liters: 725 mL / 1,000 = 0.725 L.
   
   
3. Add the water volume: 1.250 L (already in liters).
   
   
4. Add all the volumes together: 1.550 L + 0.725 L + 1.250 L = 3.525 L total volume.

The total volume of the cough syrup once mixed would be 3.525 liters.
