Question

Sandy has several pitchers to hold lemonade for the school bake sale .two pitchers can hold 64 ounces each ,and four pitchers can hold 48 ounces each. how many total ounces can Sandy's pitchers hold?

Answer 1

The answer to this question would be:320 ounces


In this case, sandy has two kinds of a pitcher with different volume. To find the total volume of the pitcher, you need to multiply the pitcher count with the pitcher volume separately. The equation would be:

Total volume= pitchercount1 * pitchervolume1 + pitchercount2 * pitchervolume2
Total volume= 2 * 64 ounces + 4 * 48 ounces = 128+192= 320 ounces

Answer 2

Sandy can hold up to 320 ounces of lemonade for her school bake sale.

Further explanation

Volume is a property of all bodies, it represents how much space does a body occupy. This is a very important property when we wish to store something, because it's a matter of how much space does an object have. It is to be noted that the volume of an object, specially liquids, is independent of its mass.

Volumes are, in general, additive. This means that if we have, for example, 2 jars of 1 litre each, then we can store a total of 2 litres (1 litre in each jar). In order to solve our problem, we just need to add the volumes of each of Sandy's pitchers to know how much lemonade she can store, therefor:

$Volume = 64+64+48+48+48+48=320$

Therefor Sandy can hold up to 320 ounces of lemonade.
