A hostel has 8 liters of juice. Each glass can hold 250 ml. How many glasses can be served?
The Correct Answer and Explanation is:
To solve this problem, we need to convert the total amount of juice into milliliters and then divide it by the capacity of one glass.
Step 1: Convert liters to milliliters
We know that 1 liter (L) is equal to 1000 milliliters (ml). Therefore, 8 liters of juice is:8 L=8×1000 ml=8000 ml8 \, \text{L} = 8 \times 1000 \, \text{ml} = 8000 \, \text{ml}8L=8×1000ml=8000ml
Step 2: Calculate the number of glasses
Next, we divide the total amount of juice (8000 ml) by the capacity of one glass, which is 250 ml:8000 ml250 ml per glass=32 glasses\frac{8000 \, \text{ml}}{250 \, \text{ml per glass}} = 32 \, \text{glasses}250ml per glass8000ml=32glasses
Explanation:
- The total juice available is 8000 ml.
- Each glass holds 250 ml.
- By dividing the total juice by the capacity of one glass, we find that 32 glasses can be served.
So, the hostel can serve 32 glasses of juice.
