Question

Scott needs to fill a 4 liter pitcher with a water. but it won't fit under the faucet. he fills a 250 ml container with water from the faucet and pours the water into the pitcher. how many times will he need to fill the 250 ml container to fill the pitcher

Answer 1

Scott needs to fill the 250 ml container 16 times to fill the 4 liter pitcher with water

Step-by-step explanation:

To know how many times Scott needs to fill 250 ml container to fill the 4 liter pitcher with water, all we need to do is make conversion to know how many ml makes 4 liters.

1 ml = 0.001 liters

x ml = 4 liters

0.001x = 4

x = 4/0.001

=4000

There are 4000 ml in 4 liters

So, to know how many 250 ml are in 4 liters, we would rather find how many 250 ml are in 4000 ml

This is:

4000/250

= 16

Therefore, Scott needs to fill the 250 ml container 16 times to fill the 4 liter pitcher with water
