Answer 1

280 drinks. We need to divide 1 2/5 by 1/200 in order to get this answer.

Answer 2

280 drinks

Explanation:

• Capacity of bottle
  `=1(2)/(5)=(7)/(5)\: l`

• Squash needed to make one drink
  `=(1)/(200)\:l`

• Total number of drinks
  `=(7)/(5)/(1)/(200)`

• 
  `=(7)/(5)*200`

• 
  `=7*40`

• 
  `=280`
