Question

Kendra mixes 2 liters of iced tea with 1 3/4 liters of lemonade. She pours an equal amount of the mixture into 6 jars. How many milliliters of the mixture did Kendra pour into each jar?

Answer 1

Answer: There is 625 millilitres of mixture in each jar.

Explanation:

Given: Ice tea = 2 liters

Lemonade=
`1(3)/(4)` litter

Therefore,

Total mixture = Ice tea+ Lemonade

`\text {Total mixture} = 2+1(3)/(4) = 2+(7)/(4) =(8+7)/(4) =(15)/(4)`

Number of jars = 6

Mixture in one jar =
`\frac{\text {Total mixture}}{\text {Number of jars}} = ((15)/(4) )/(6) =(15)/(4)* (1)/(6) = (5)/(8)`

Mixture in one jar =
`(5)/(8)` liter

1 liter = 1000 ml

`(5)/(8)` liter=
`(5)/(8) * 1000 = 625 ml`

Hence, there is 625 millilitres of mixture in each jar.
