Question

Christine must buy at least 45 fluid ounces of milk at the store. The store only sells milk in 200 milliliter bottles. If there are 33.8 fluid ounces in 1 liter, then what is the smallest number of bottles that Christine could buy?

Answer 1

Since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter, that means that there are 33.8/1000 fluid ouncers per milliliter. That means that each 200 mil bottle is 6.76 fluid ounces or 33.8/1000*200. 45/6.76 = 6.66 but you have to round up to a whole number of bottles since you can buy 2/3 of a bottle which makes your answer 7 bottles.
