Question

Apollo Spas services 173 hot tubs. If each hot tub needs 125 mL of muriatic acid, how many liters of acid are needed for all of the hot tubs?

Answer 1

21.625 L

Explanation:

Given:

No. of Hot tubs (N) = 173

Amount of muriatic acid required for one tub (a) = 125 mL

To Find: Total amount of acids required for all the hot tubs

It is a simple multiplication problem.

Lets assume, total amount of acids required (in mL) = x

Thus,

`x = N* a`

`x = 173* 125`

`x = 21625`

Total amount of acids required for all the hot tubs (in mL)= 21625 mL

Total amount of acids required for all the hot tubs (in liters) =
`(x)/(1000)`

Total amount of acids required for all the hot tubs = 21.625 L
