Question

What is the answer to this word problem, Samantha is using a 2 liter pitcher to serve lemonade to 10 of her friends. How many times will she need to fill the pitcher in order to serve each friend 400 milliliters of lemonade?

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

The pitcher is 2 liters. 400 milliliters=0.4 liter. There are 10 friends so multiply 400 by 10. That's 4000 milliliters which is 4 liters. Therefore you would have to refill it once to be able to server each friend 400 milliliters.

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

10 friends each served 400 ml of lemonade consumes 400 x 10 = 4000 ml = 4 l of lemonade in total

Pitcher size is 2 l therefore 4 / 2 = 2 pitchers are required assuming no losses.
