Answer 1

Question:

A drink dispenser in a fast-food restaurant holds 250 litres of lemonade. How many 0.6-litre drinks can be dispensed before a refill is needed?

Answer:

The number 0.6-litre drinks can be dispensed before a refill is needed is 416

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The capacity of the drink dispenser =  250 litres

To Find:

Number of  0.6-litre drinks can be dispensed before a refill is needed = ?

Solution

Let the number of  0.6-litre drinks can be dispensed before a refill is needed be x

Then

$x = \frac{ \text{total capacity of the dispenser}}{\text{0.6-litre drinks}}$

On substituting the values we get

$x = \frac{250}{0.6}$

x  =  416. 667

Thus only 416 can be filled
