Linda is using an eggnog recipe that requires 5.25 liters of whipping cream and serves 42 people. She only needs enough eggnog to serve 6 people. How many milliliters of whipping cream would be required for the smaller group?
First find the number of liters of whipping cream per person: 5.25 liters / 42 people = <<5.25/42=.125>>.125 liters/person
Then multiply that number by the number of people she's serving to find the number of liters she needs: .125 liters/person * 6 people = .75 liters
Then multiply that number by 1000 to convert it to milliliters: .75 liters * 1000 ml/liter = <<.75*1000=750>>750 ml. Answer: \boxed{750}.
Is this equation true or false?
0.052 meters = 50 millimeters
False.
To convert meters to millimeters, you multiply by 1000.
Therefore, 0.052 meters = 0.052 * 1000 = 52 millimeters.
Is this equation true or false?
0.2 meters = 2 decimeters
True.
There are 10 decimeters in 1 meter, so 0.2 meters is equal to 2 decimeters.
Compare these measurements.
3250 meters Blank Space__________ 3.5 kilometers
3250 meters is less than 3.5 kilometers.
To compare the two measurements, we can convert 3.5 kilometers to meters. Since there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer, 3.5 kilometers is equal to 3.5 * 1000 = 3500 meters.
Therefore, 3250 meters is less than 3500 meters.
Soft drinks are sold in 2-liter bottles or 354-milliliter containers. Which container holds more?
A 2-liter bottle holds more than a 354-milliliter container.
To compare the two containers, we can convert the 2 liters to milliliters. Since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter, 2 liters is equal to 2 * 1000 = 2000 milliliters.
Therefore, a 2-liter bottle holds more than a 354-milliliter container.
