Christine must buy at least $45$ fluid ounces of milk at the store. The store only sells milk in $200$ milliliter bottles. If there are $33.8$ fluid ounces in $1$ liter, then what is the smallest number of bottles that Christine could buy? (You may use a calculator on this problem.)

Answer:

7 bottles

Explanation:

Christie needs to buy at least 45 fluid ounces of milk at the store.

33.8 fluid ounces=1 Liter

1 fluid ounce =
(1)/(33.8) Liters

45 fluid ounces =
(1)/(33.8) * 45 =1.3313$ Liters

Now:

1 Liter =1000 Milliliter

Therefore:

1.3313 Liter= 1000 X 1.3313 Milliliters

1.3313 Liter= 1331.3 Milliliter

Therefore, the smallest number of 200 milliliter bottles Christie must buy is:


=(1331.3)/(200)=6.7 \\\approx 7$ bottles
