@Callisto

OpenStudy (callisto):

Any ideas? Yes/ No?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (callisto):

Reasons? Think about how your measure, and the accuracy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the measure is 8 fl oz and 2 liter waitno its the other way around i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait if i mutliply 8 oz and 8 servings id get 64

OpenStudy (callisto):

Hmm, think about the conversion then.. 1 litre = 33.8140227 oz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 liters would equal 67.62804547514776

OpenStudy (callisto):

Yes. And how many oz do you have here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8

OpenStudy (callisto):

No.... 8 per serving, you have 8 servings.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (callisto):

How many oz are you supposed to have in total?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on a second please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No because there are, 33.814 oz in a liter x 2 liters = 67.628 oz. If u divide 67.628 oz by 8 servings= 8.4535 oz per serving. Normally a serving is 8 oz (i think i figured it out)

OpenStudy (callisto):

That's also ok :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
