Question

The label on a 2-liter bottle of soda indicates that one serving is 8 fluid ounces and that there are 8 servings in the bottle. Are these exact measurements? Explain, using mathematics to justify your answer.

Answer 1

help me please

Answer 2

they cannot be exact because liters are metric and ounces are not

Answer 3

you can convert ounces to liters here
http://www.metric-conversions.org/volume/us-ounces-to-liters.htm?val=64
you can see that 64 ounces is just under two liters, around 1.89

Answer 4

so 2 liters will contain 8 servings of 8fluid ounces each
it doesn't have enough for 9 servings of 8 fluid ounces
but it has a little bit more left of soda after the 8 servings, about half-ounce

so, they're RIGHT, but not EXACT

Answer 5

hmm, more than half-ounce actually, close to 4 ounces, anyhow, so, they asked for EXACTNESS
