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.

Can you make that more clear? I still don't get what you mean.
