Question

Louise buys milk in 2 litre cartons. She uses 1 2/3 (or 5/3) litres of milk every day. What is the least number of cartons of milk she would need to buy in ten days?

Answer 1

5/3x10=50/3= about 16 liters

9 cartons would be the answer it equals about 18 liters

Answer 2

Thanks for the help! Where is the 9 cartons from? And how did you get 18 litres?

Answer 3

She uses 5/3 liters a day. Louise buys 2 liter milk cartons which are equivalent to 6/3.
You need to find how much milk she would consume in ten days which would be 50/3 liters which is over 16 liters.

Answer 4

The least number of cartons she would need to buy is 18 because 8 cartons of milk would be insufficient for the 10 day span.

Answer 5

How are 2 litre milk cartons equivalent to 6/3? Why is 8 cartons of milk insufficient for the 10 day span? I get the rest of your explanation though, thank you SO SO much! :)
