Question

2. A serving of soup is 275 milliliters.

Will 6 servings of soup fit into a jar that holds up to 1.5 liters of liquid? Explain.

Answer 1

No, the 6 servings of soup is 1675 milliliters, which is greater than 1.5 liters.

Explanation:

So we already know that 1 surving of soup is 275 milliliters.

We have 6 survings of this soup.

We need to see if these 6 servings will fit in a 1.5 liter jar.

To find the total amount of mililers, we must multipy this by 6:

275*6

=

1650

Remember that 1 liter is equal to 1000 mililiters. To find the 1650 mililliters in liters, we must divide by 1000:

1650/1000

=

1.65

This number is greater than 1.5 liters, which is how much soup the jar can store.

So the answer is no, the 6 servings of soup cannot fit in the jar.
