Question

Miss Davis needs to provide enough

orange juice for all of the students in
her class for their end of year party. If
each student is going to be provided
with 230 ml of juice and Miss Davis
bought 5.5 litres, how many students
are in her class?

Answer 1

Answer: Let's start by converting the amount of orange juice Miss Davis bought into milliliters, since we are dealing with milliliters per student:

5.5 litres = 5.5 x 1000 ml = 5500 ml

Now we can use the fact that each student will be provided with 230 ml of juice to find out how many students there are in the class. Let's use S to represent the number of students:

230 ml per student x S students = 5500 ml

Solving for S, we get:

S = 5500 ml / 230 ml per student ≈ 23.9

We rounded the number of students to a whole number because we cannot have a fraction of a student. Therefore, Miss Davis needs to have enough orange juice for 24 students in her class.
