Question

Can someone please show me the steps to solving this problem please? Many thanks!

Answer 1

Step 1: Assign variable for the unknown that we need to find.

Let x be the number of 350 ml bottles that you should bring from the supply room.

Step 2: Use the statement given to write a mathematical equation.

Given: 30 liter drum of fertilizer

Convert the liters to milliliters

$1\;L = 1000\; mL\\\\30\;L=30 \times 1000\; mL=30,000\;mL$

"The owner of the plant nursery where you work tells you to fill 350 milliliter bottles from a 30 liter drum of fertilizer" means we need to find how many 350 ml are there in 30,000 ml.

$x=\frac{30000}{350}$

Step 3: Simplify and round up to the next whole number.

$\frac{30000}{350} \approx 86 \; bottles$

Conclusion:

Eighty Six bottles with a capacity of 350 milliliter you should bring from the supply room to fill from a 30 liter drum of fertilizer!

Answer 2

I think
30L=30000ml
30000/350=85.7
so u should bring 86 bottles
