Question

Answer the question.

11. Sarah's mom buys a basket that contains 8 bottles of lotion. Half of
the bottles each contain 150 milliliters of lotion. The other bottles
each contain 175 milliliters of lotion.
How many liters of lotion does Sarah's mom buy?

Answer 1

1.3 liters

Explanation:

So first off, lets find the amount of milileters of lotion there is.

To do this, take 8, and divide it in half:

8/2 = 4. So we know that 4 bottles of lotion each contain 150 militers of lotion.

We know that the other 4 bottles each contain 175 milileters of lotion.

Next, lets multiply the 150 and 175 by the four bottles:

150x4

=

600

175x4

=

700

Now lets add these two values together, to find the total amount of lotion:

700+600

=

1300

Remember, this problem asked for liters of lotion, not milileters. Lets recall that 1000 milileters are equivelent to 1 liter:

1300/1000

=

1.3

This is your answer!

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

1.3 liters

Explanation:

4 x 150 is 600

4 x 175 is 700

700 + 600 = 1300 milliliters

1300 milliliters = 1.3 liters
