Question

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

She will need to fill it up TWICE

Explanation:

The question here says that Samantha is using a 2-liter pitcher to serve lemonade to 10 of her friends. And we are now asked to find out how many times will she need to fill the pitcher in order to serve each friend 400 milliliters of lemonade.

Since 1 litre of any liquid equals 1000 milliliters, 2 liters of liquid will be

1000 × 2 = 2000 milliliters.

This means that the 2-liter pitcher can hold up to 2000 milliliters of liquid.

Also remember that Samantha has 10 friends and that each friend is going to be served 400 milliliters of lemonade. This means that she is going to serve

400 × 10 = 4000 milliliters of lemonade to her friends.

And to now find out the number if times that the pitcher needs to be filled up so as to serve her friends lemonade, it will be

Since the 2-liter pitcher can hold up to 2000 milliliters of lemonade and up to 4000 milliliters of lemonade is to be served to the 10 friends.

4000/2000 = 2 times

Answer 2

Answer: 2 times

Explanation:

Hi, since 1000 milliliters = 1 liter

We have to convert the 2 liters into milliliters:

2 x 1000 = 2000 milliliters, so she is using a 2,000 milliliters pincher.

Now we have to multiply the number of friends (10) by the amount of lemonade she serves to each one (400 ml)

400 x 10 = 4,000 milliliters

Finally, we have to divide the amount of lemonade she needs to serve (4,000 ml) by the capacity of the pitcher (2,000), to obtain the number of times that she will need to fill the pitcher.

4,000/2,000=2 times
