Answer:

There are <u>20,000 milligrams</u> chlorine in the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The chlorine per liter of water in the pool is 2.5 milligrams.

The  volume of water in the swimming pool is 8000 gallons.

Now, to find the quantity of chlorine in the pool.

Let the quantity of chlorine be x.

The gallons of water in the swimming pool = 8000.

The milligrams of chlorine per liter of water in the pool = 2.5.

According to question, the amount of chlorine in the swimming pool is proportional to the volume of water.

So, 2.5 mg of chlorine is equivalent to 1 liter.

Thus, x is equivalent to 8000.

Now, to get the quantity of chlorine by using cross multiplication method:

\frac{2.5}{1} =\frac{x}{8000}

<em>By cross multiplying we get:</em>

20000=x\\\\x=20,000\ mg.

Therefore, there are 20,000 milligram chlorine in the pool.

A 2-liter container holds more than a 3,000-milliliter container. True or false?
tiny-mole [99]

<u>To consider whether this statement is true or not</u>

   ⇒ must determine the <u>number of milliliters in a liter</u>

        ⇒ <u>1 Liter = 1000 milliliter</u>

<u />

<u>To compare both containers, lets set both containers in terms of milliliters</u>

  • Container 1 --> 2 Liter Capacity --> 2000 milliliter
  • Container 2 --> 3000 milliliter

<u>By looking at the data</u>

  ⇒ the 3000-milliliter container holds more than the2-liter container

<u>Thus, the statement</u>: A 2-liter container holds more than a 3,000-milliliter container

  ⇒ <u>False</u>

<u></u>

<u>Answer: False</u>

<u></u>

Hope that helps!
