Question

Landon finds that the school cafeteria has 8,000 milliliters of grape juice, 4.2 liters

of cranberry juice and 12,000 milliliters of orange juice. He wants to know how
the amounts of the different juices compare.
Part A
Landon makes a table to help solve the problem. He knows that there are
1,000 milliliters in 1 liter. Use this information to complete the table below.

Part B
Landon then decides to convert 4.2 liters of cranberry juice to milliliters so he can
compare the amounts of the different juices.
Fill in the blanks to explain how Landon can do this and solve the problem.
One way to convert 4.2 liters to milliliters is to
the number of
liters by
the number of milliliters in 1 liter. This means there are
milliliters in 4.2 liters. The cafeteria has the greatest amount of
juice, the second greatest amount of
juice, and
the least amount of
juice.

Answer 1

One way to convert 4.2 liters to milliliters is to multiply the number of liters by the number of milliliters in 1 liter. This means there are 4,200 milliliters in 4.2 liters. The cafeteria has the greatest amount of orange juice, the second greatest amount of grape juice, and the least amount of cranberry juice.

Answer 2

1) Part A)

Liters Mililiters

1 1,000

5 5,000

8 8,000

14 14,000

2) Part B)

One way to convert 4.2 liters to milliliters is to multiply the number of liters by the number of milliliters in 1 liter. This means there are 4,200 milliliters in 4.2 liters. The cafeteria has the greatest amount of orange juice, the second greatest amount of grape juice, and the least amount of cranberry juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data:

• Grape juice: 8,000 mililiters

• Cranberry juice: 4.2 liter

• Orange juice: 12,000 mililiters

• There are 1,000 mililiers in 1 liter

2) Part A:

Table:

The table is garbled. This is what the tables could look like:

Liters Mililiters

1 1,000

5 5,000

8 8,000

14 14,000

You can see that the table shows a direct relationship between the number of mililiters and the number of liters:

• 1,000/1 = 1,000
• 5,000/5 = 1,000
• 8,000/8 = 1,000

• 14,000/14 = 1,000

• number of mililiters / liters = 1,000

3) Part B)

Fill in the blanks to explain how Landon can convert 4.2 liters of cranberry juice to mililiters so he can compare the amounts of the different juices:

i) One way to convert 4.2 liters to milliliters is to multiply the number of

liters by the number of milliliters in 1 liter.

• As demonstrated above there is a direct relationship between the number of mililiters and the number on liters, then you must multiply the number of liters by the proportionality constant to find the number of mililiters.

ii) This means there are 4,200 milliliters in 4.2 liters.

• That is the product 4.2 × 1,000 = 4,200.

iii) The cafeteria has the greatest amount of orange juice, the second greatest amount of grape juice, and the least amount of cranberry juice.

Rank the amounts:

• 12,000 > 8,000 > 4,200
