Answer:

4 liters for £3.20

Step-by-step explanation:

we want to maximize quantity for each unit of money spent. if we use mL and p, we want to maximize mL/p

500 mL = 60 p

divide both sides by 60p to get a mL/p value

500 mL/60 p = 50/6 p ≈ 8.3 mL per pence

4 L = £3.20

note:

1000 mL = 1L

divide both sides by 1 L/ 1000 mL

1000 mL / 1 L = 1

1 L / 1000 mL = 1

100 p = £1

divide both sides by 100p / £1

100p / £1 = 1 = £1 / 100p

convert everything to the same units (mL and p) to accurately compare

4 L = £3.20

4L  = 4L * 1 = 4L * 1000 mL / 1 L = 4000 mL. Note that we have two options to choose from -- 1000 mL / 1 L and 1 L / 1000 mL. We choose the first one here because we want the 4L to cancel out with the 1 L

£3.20 = £3.20 * 1 = £3.20  * 100p / £1 = 320 p. note we put the £1 on the bottom so the euros cancel out.

thus,

4 L = £3.20

= 4000 mL = 320p

divide both sides by 320p to get a mL / p value

4000 mL / 320 p = 12.5 mL/p

8.3 mL per pence in the first one

12.5 mL per pence in the second one

the second one has a higher mL per pence, so that is a better value

Can someone help me do 8 divided by 5.5?? Thanks!!
Viktor [21]
First you put 8 on the inside of a house and 5.5 on the outside. Then you take the 5.5 and see how many times it can go in 8 with out going over, in this case its once. So take 5.5 and subtract it under the 8. Since you used up the whole number, you have to put a decimal now, so put a decimal on the right side of the 1 on top of the house. Then, add a 0 next to the 8 and put it next to the answer of 8-5.5, which is 2.5, and now 25, the zero moving the number to the left once. Now you find out how many times 5.5 goes into 25, which is 4, adding that next to the decimal on top of the house. Now again, subtract 22, which is 4 x 5.5, from 25. Then add a zero, making 3, now 30.Now find how many times 5.5 goes into that, and it is 5. This 4 and 5 pattern will go on forever, so over the 45 in your answer 1.45, put a line. Like this      __
