Question

A dishwasher uses 11 liters of water for each cycle. A washing machine uses 5 times as much water as a

dishwasher uses for each load. Combined, how many milliliters of water are used for 1 cycle of
each machine?

Answer 1

To determine the total water usage of both a dishwasher and a washing machine, calculate the water usage in liters for each and then convert to milliliters. The combined total for one cycle of each machine is 66,000 milliliters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the total amount of water used by a dishwasher and a washing machine in milliliters. The dishwasher uses 11 liters of water per cycle, whereas the washing machine uses five times the amount of water as that of the dishwasher per load.

First, we find the water usage of the washing machine:
5 times 11 liters = 55 liters.
Now, we convert the liters to milliliters using the conversion factor: 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters.
Dishwasher: 11 liters x 1,000 milliliters/liter = 11,000 milliliters.
Washing machine: 55 liters x 1,000 milliliters/liter = 55,000 milliliters.

Finally, we combine the water usage:
11,000 milliliters (dishwasher) + 55,000 milliliters (washing machine) = 66,000 milliliters.

Combined, for 1 cycle of each machine, 66,000 milliliters of water are used.

Answer 2

55,000 milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

So if washing machine uses 5 times more than dishwasher

Dishwasher: 11 litters of each cycle

Washing machine: 11 x 5= 55 litters for each machine in litters

If 1 litter is equal to 1000 milliliter then 55 x 1000 = 55,000 milliliters

FORMULA for milliliter: multiply the volume value by 1000
