A can of lemonade concentrate has a capacity of 355 mL. The concentrate is mixed with 4 cans of water.
a) how much lemonade is made?
b) how many 200-mL glasses can be poured?
I copied it off my math book. I though that I wasn't getting it, but now I understand that the problem is unclear. thank you
not helping
u need to explain not give questions
To get the answers to these questions, we need to understand the process of mixing the lemonade concentrate with water.
a) To find out how much lemonade is made, we need to calculate the total volume after mixing the concentrate with water.
Step 1: Calculate the volume of one can of water.
Since the water cans have the same volume, we can find the volume of one can by dividing the total volume (355 mL) by the number of cans of water (4 cans).
Volume of one can of water = 355 mL / 4 = 88.75 mL
Step 2: Calculate the total volume of the mixture.
The total volume of the mixture is the sum of the volume of the concentrate and the volume of the water cans.
Total volume of the mixture = Volume of concentrate + (Volume of one can of water × Number of water cans)
Total volume of the mixture = 355 mL + (88.75 mL × 4) = 355 mL + 355 mL = 710 mL
Therefore, 710 mL of lemonade is made after mixing.
b) To find out how many 200-mL glasses can be poured, we need to perform a division using the total volume of the mixture.
Step 1: Calculate the number of 200-mL glasses that can be poured.
Number of 200-mL glasses = Total volume of the mixture / Volume of one glass
Number of 200-mL glasses = 710 mL / 200 mL = 3.55 glasses
Since we cannot pour a fraction of a glass, we round down the decimal value to the nearest whole number. Therefore, 3 glasses can be poured with a little bit left in the fourth glass.
In summary:
a) After mixing, 710 mL of lemonade is made.
b) Approximately 3 glasses can be poured using the mixture.
Your question is unclear.
A can of lemonade concentrate has a capacity of 355 mL.
Does this mean that the can of concentrate makes 355mL of lemonade ?
Or, do you mean that 355mL combined with 4 cans of water, for the total amount of lemonade?
If the second, without knowing the measurement of 4 cans of water, I can't help you.
Please clarify your post.
