Question

Josh wants to buy enough fruit punch for each guest at his birthday party to

have 750 mL. He plans to have 12 people at his party, including himself. How many 1-liter containers of fruit punch should he purchase?
A. 1
B. 7
C. 9
D. 12

Answer 1

1L = 1000mL

750/ 1000 = .75L

.75L x 12 people = 9L

So you need 9 1-liter containers of fruit punch

Answer 2

C. 9

Explanation:

He is going to have 12 people including himself, and each is going to have 750 mL

12*750

9000 mL

There are 1000 mL in each liter, so divide 9000 by 1000

9000/1000=9

So he needs to buy 9, 1 liter containers of fruit punch

Hope this helps :)
