Final answer:
To find the total volume of the cough syrup mixture, convert all ingredients to liters and add them together, resulting in a total of 3.525 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total volume of cough syrup mixture when combining 1,550 milliliters of syrup, 725 milliliters of cherry flavor, and 1.25 liters of water is 3.525 liters. To calculate this, we first convert all measurements to the same unit, liters, because a liter is a standard unit of volume in the metric system.
Since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter, the volume of the syrup and cherry flavor in liters would be 1.55 liters for the syrup (1,550 milliliters / 1,000) and 0.725 liters for the cherry flavor (725 milliliters / 1,000). Adding these values to the 1.25 liters of water, we get:
- 1.55 liters (syrup) = 1.55 liters
- 0.725 liters (cherry flavor) = 0.725 liters
- 1.25 liters (water) = 1.25 liters
Total volume of the mixture is the sum of these three amounts:
1.55 liters + 0.725 liters + 1.25 liters = 3.525 liters
This is the final volume of the cough syrup mixture.
