Question

Caleb's recipe calls for 6.0 cups of an ingredient. His measuring bowl only has measurements marked in liters. Caleb knows that one cup is approximately 240 milliliters. Determine the number of liters of that ingredient that Caleb needs for his recipe.

Answer 1

Caleb's recipe calls for 6 cups

1 cup is approximately 240 millilitres

Firstly, we need to find the measurement of 6 cups in milliliters

1 cup ========== 240 milliliters

6 cups ========= x milliliters

Introduce cross multiplication

1 * x = 240 x 6

x = 1440 millilters

6 cups of Caleb's recipe is approximately 1,440 milliliters

To determine the number of litres

1 milliliters is approximately 0.001 litres

Convert 1,440 millilters to Liters

1 milliliters ======= 0.001 Liters

1,440 milliliters === x Liters

Introduce cross multiplication

1 * x = 1,440 x 0.001

x = 1.44 Liters

1,440 milliliters is approximately 1.44 Liters

Therefore, the answer is 1.44 Liters
