Question

Barbara runs a lemonade stand to raise money for Barton Children's Hospital. Last weekend, she made 8 liters of lemonade to sell. Saturday was rainy, so she only sold 8 glasses. The weather was better on Sunday, so she sold 24 glasses. If each glass holds 200 milliliters, how many liters of lemonade does Barbara have left?

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

1.6 liters of lemonade

Explanation:

There are 1000 milliliters in one liter so she made 8000 milliliters of lemonade

Next we have to figure out how many milliliters of lemonade she sold each day:

Saturday: 200 milliliters of lemonade in a glass * 8 glasses = 1600 milliliters of lemonade sold

Sunday: 200 milliliters of lemonade in a glass * 24 glasses = 4800 milliliters of lemonade sold

1600 + 4800 = 6400 total milliliters of lemonade sold

Since there are 1000 milliliters in one liter, we have to divide 6400 by 1000:

6400 ÷ 1000 = 6.4 liters

Lastly, we have to subtract 6.4 from 8:

8 - 6.4 = 1.6 liters of lemonade

Hope this helps!
