Mrs. Franks bought 6 large jugs of milk. A large jug holds 4 liters of milk. A serving size size is 250 mL. if each of the 4 people in Mrs. Franks family has 2 serving of milk a day, will 6 jugs be enough milk for one week?
We've shown you how to do several problems like this. Now it's your turn.
what Ms. Sue sais... AT LEAST put down your guess
To determine if 6 jugs of milk will be enough for one week for Mrs. Frank's family, we need to calculate the total amount of milk needed for the week and compare it to the total amount of milk available.
First, let's calculate the daily milk requirement for one person:
2 servings of milk per day * 250 mL per serving = 500 mL per day
Now, let's calculate the total daily milk requirement for the whole family:
4 people * 500 mL per day = 2000 mL per day
Since 1 liter is equal to 1000 mL, the total daily milk requirement in liters is:
2000 mL / 1000 mL per liter = 2 liters
Now, let's calculate the total milk requirement for one week:
2 liters per day * 7 days = 14 liters
Each jug holds 4 liters, so the total amount of milk in 6 jugs would be:
6 jugs * 4 liters per jug = 24 liters
Since 24 liters is greater than the total milk requirement for one week (14 liters), 6 jugs of milk will be enough for one week for Mrs. Frank's family.
