Question

A tube of toothpaste hold 75 mL how many tubes can be sold using 1.5 L of toothpaste

Answer 1

We will find out how many toothpaste tubes can be filled with 1.5L as follows:

*First: We transform the 1.5Liters to mL:

`x=(1.5\cdot1000)/(1)\Rightarrow x=1500`

So, 1500mL.

*Second: We will determine how many tubes of toothpaste we can fill:

`tt=(1\cdot1500)/(75)\Rightarrow tt=20`

So, we can fill 20 tubes of toothpaste.
