Question

In planning for a banquet , the chef estimates that 150 glasses of orange juice will be needed . Each glass holds 150 ml . How many liters of orange juice should be ordered?

Answer 1

Let:

T = Total liters of orange juice

a = ml of orange juice each glass holds = 150ml

N = Number of glasses = 150

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} T=a\cdot N \\ T=150\cdot150 \\ T=22500mL \end{gathered}$

Therefore:

$22500mL\times\frac{1L}{1000mL}=22.5L$

22.5 L of orange juice will be ordered
