Question

Carrie makes 27 liters of lemonade. 8 people share the lemonade equally. Which statement is true? a Each person will receive less than 2 liters. b Each person will receive between 2 and 3 liters. c Each person will receive between 3 and 4 liters. d Each person will receive more than 4 liters.

Answer 1

Each person will receive between 3 and 4 liters.

Answer 2

The correct option is;

a. Each person will receive between 3 and 4 liters

Explanation:

The volume of lemonade Carrie makes = 27 liters

The number of people that share the lemonade = 8

The volume of lemonade each person receives = 27/8 = 3.375liters

Each person will receive more than 3 liters but less than 4 liters of lemonade

Therefore, the correct option is each person will receive between 3 and 4 liters.
