Question

Mei has 8 jars of soup. Each jar contains 300 milliliters of soup. What is the smallest pot mei can use to heat all the soup? a.2 liters b.3 liters c.1 liter d.4 liters

Answer 1

Option B. 3 liters

Explanation:

First, we shall determine the total volume of soup that Mei have. This is illustrated below:

Mei have 8 jars of soup containing 300mL each. Therefore, she has a total of = 8 x 300mL = 2400mL.

Next, we shall convert 2400mL to litres (L). This can be obtain as follow:

1000mL = 1L

Therefore, 2400mL = 2400/1000 = 2.4L

Mei have 2.4L of soup.

Since the total volume of the soup that Mei have is 2.4L, she will be needing a minimum of 3L pot to heat up all the soup.
