Question

In the pet supply area of the warehouse is a crate of flea shampoo for cats. Each crate holds 55 boxes. Each box holds 7 bottles of shampoo. Each bottle contains 7 mL of the chemical that gets rid of the fleas. How many liters of the chemical is in the crate of shampoo?

Answer 1

2.695 Liters of shampoo

Explanation:

Step 1

We find the number of bottles in the crates

1 box = 7 bottles

55 boxes = x

Cross Multiply

x = 55 boxes × 7 bottle/1 box

x = 385 bottles

Step 2

Calculate the total number mL

1 bottle = 7 mL

385 bottles = x

Cross Multiply

x = 385 bottle × 7 mL/1 bottle

x = 2695 mL

Therefore the total number of mL of shampoo in the crates = 2695mL

Step 3

How many liters of the chemical is in the crate of shampoo?

We convert mL to Liters

1 mL =0.001 liter

2695mL = x

Cross Multiply

x = 2695mL × 0.001 liter/1 mL

x = 2.695 Liters of shampoo

Therefore, 2.695 liters of the chemical is in the crate of shampoo
