Question

Pilar needs 12 liters of maple tree sap to make a bottle of maple syrup. Each maple tree makes 16 liters of sap. How much syrup can be made from 8 maple trees?

Answer 1

Approximately 10.67 bottles of maple syrup can be made from 8 maple trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much syrup can be made from 8 maple trees, we need to calculate the total amount of sap obtained from the trees. Each maple tree produces 16 liters of sap, so 8 maple trees will produce:

8 trees x 16 liters/tree = 128 liters of sap

Since Pilar needs 12 liters of sap to make one bottle of maple syrup, we can calculate how many bottles can be made:

128 liters / 12 liters/bottle = 10.67 bottles

Therefore, from 8 maple trees, approximately 10.67 bottles of maple syrup can be made.

Answer 2

Approximately 10 bottles of maple syrup can be made from 8 maple trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much syrup can be made from 8 maple trees, we need to determine the total amount of sap obtained from these trees. Each maple tree makes 16 liters of sap, so for 8 trees, the total amount of sap would be 16 liters x 8 = 128 liters. Since it takes 12 liters of sap to make a bottle of maple syrup, we can divide the total amount of sap (128 liters) by the amount needed for one bottle (12 liters) to find out how many bottles of syrup can be made. 128 liters ÷ 12 liters = 10.67 bottles. Therefore, approximately 10 bottles of maple syrup can be made from 8 maple trees.
