Question

Medal
A soup recipe calls for
1 1/3 of a cup of milk, but the measuring cup being used is in metric. If it is known that 1 cup is equal to 8 fl. oz., find the equivalent number of mL of milk required by the recipe. Round to the nearest mL.
? mL

Answer 1

1 cup = 8 fl. oz you need 1 1/3 cups so what is 1/3 of 8?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Then once you have 1/3 of 8, add 8 ounces to that and you have 1 1/3 cups

Answer 4

@sleepyjess
8/3 + 1 = 11/3 (total)
Then? :D

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

ya what do we need to multiply

Answer 7

Then round and you have the answer.

Answer 8

Do as @Abhilash11 showed above. 8/3

Answer 9

See @harz360 I fl = 29.5 ml
So here, you actually have to multiply 29.5 to 11/3 to get the answer in ml :-)

Answer 10

Why would you do 29.5?

Answer 11

108.166

Answer 12

Cause the answer required should be in ml @sleepyjess ? If that's the requirement of the question^ otherwise not required :-)

Answer 13

OH OK I see what you are saying.

Answer 14

Yeah. @harz360 Absolutley correct!

Answer 15

so do we need to round that

Answer 16

Yes, what would that round to?

Answer 17

Yeah well you can. But you know what I'd suggest you take 1 fl = 30 ml though. Why cause you have 3 in the denominator, so calculation wont be a problem you know. You could cancel it directly :-)

Answer 18

108.2

Answer 19

if you would have learned how to set up the fractions in the last problem you could do this easily....

Answer 20

Round to the nearest mL

Answer 21

Cause 29.5 and 30 dont make that a difference. only rounding off you know :-)
so 11/3 * 30 = 110 ml :-D (the answer)

Answer 22

or the one before actually

Answer 23

108ml

Answer 24

Okay! :-)

Answer 25

so the answer is 108mL

Answer 26

Yupp can say so too. Depends on thr rounding off. 108 is more accurate than 110. so yeah 108

Answer 27

thank you :)

Answer 28

But then when you solve right? Take 1 fl = 30 ml. that way you can escape the multiplication part, and solve as @FibonacciChick666 said earlier, as fractions.
Final equation being, 11/3 * 30

Answer 29

Sure. No problem :-)

Answer 30

110

Answer 31

so the answer is 110 Ml or 108ML

Answer 32

Aye. Take 108 :-P
Accurate! and since we've solved it that way .
108! Final

Answer 33

thank you :)

Answer 34

No problem
:-)
