Question

A recipe calls for 3 teaspoons of orange juice. A can of orange juice is 20 fluid ounces. How many teaspoons of juice are in the​ can? My child needs help and I don't get it. Help!

Answer 1

Explanation:

You have to look up (google) the number of ml in a fluid ounce. It equals 29.57 ml approximately.

Next you must look up the number of mL in a teaspoon. The conversion factor turns out to be 4.93 mL = 1 teaspoon.

1 fluid ounce = 29.57 mL

20 fluid ounces = x mL

1/20 = 29.57 /x

x = 20*29.57

x = 591.4 mL

1 teaspoon = 4.93 mL

x teaspoons = 591.4

4.93 * x = 591.4

4.93 * x/4.93 = 591.4 / 4.93

x = 119.96
