Correct Question:
Beverages at the Store
2,000 milliliters of soda, 2.5 liters of apple juice, 1,500 milliliters of fruit punch, 2 liters of lemonade
Mandy wants to buy a variety of beverages for her birthday party. She wants to make sure she has enough to drink for all her friends, so she decides to buy 10 liters of beverages. If she buys at least one container of each beverage, what combination of beverages can she buy to equal exactly 10 liters?
Step-by-step explanation:
As we know 1000 millilitres = 1 litre
Now writing them in common units.
soda= 2 litres
apple juice = 2.5 litres
fruit punch = 1.5 litres
lemonade = 2 litres
If she takes one of each it will become
= 2+2.5+1.5+2=8
Remaining are 10-2= 2 liters
Now she can have one more soda or lemondade to make a total of 10
which will be
4 (soda) +2.5+1.5+2=10
2+2.5+1.5+4 (lemonade) = 10
