Final answer:
To calculate the total volume of cough syrup, convert milliliters to liters and then add all volumes together. The final volume after combining 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 student has asked about the total volume of the cough syrup mixture that results from combining 1,550 milliliters of syrup, 725 milliliters of cherry flavor, and 1.25 liters of water. To find the total volume, we simply need to add up all the volumes together, making sure all units are consistent (e.g., liters).
Firstly, convert 1,550 milliliters and 725 milliliters into liters since the water volume is already in liters. As there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter, we get:
- 1,550 milliliters = 1.55 liters
- 725 milliliters = 0.725 liters
Now, the total volume in liters is:
1.55 liters (syrup) + 0.725 liters (cherry flavor) + 1.25 liters (water) = 3.525 liters
So, the final volume of the cough syrup after mixing all the components is 3.525 liters.
