The label on a can of lemonade gives the volume as 12 fl oz, or 355 mL. Verify that these two measurements are nearly equivalent. Please help me with this question.
well, a pint is a pound the world around :)
In the Netherlands, 500 mL is called a pint
so 355 mL is about .71 pint
here 16 oz is called a pint
12/16 = .75 pint
not bad :)
well, I used units that are familiar to me.
perhaps you know a quart is about a liter?
a quart is 32 oz
so 12 ox = 12/32 = 3/8 of a quart or liter
= .325 quart
which is not greatly different from .355 liter
close enough for mixing lemonade :)
Lmao
To verify if the two measurements given on the label, 12 fl oz and 355 mL, are nearly equivalent, we can convert one value into the other using a conversion factor.
1 fluid ounce (fl oz) is equivalent to approximately 29.57 milliliters (ml).
So, to convert 12 fl oz into milliliters, we can use the following conversion:
12 fl oz * 29.57 ml/fl oz = 354.84 ml
Now, we compare this value of 354.84 ml to the given value of 355 ml.
We can see that they are very close, with a difference of only 0.16 ml. Therefore, we can conclude that the two measurements, 12 fl oz and 355 ml, are indeed nearly equivalent.
