Question

Landon finds that the school cafeteria has 8,000 milliliters of grape juice, 4.2 liters

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Part A)

Liters    Mililiters

  1            1,000

  5           5,000

  8           8,000

 14          14,000

2) Part B)

One way to convert 4.2 liters to milliliters is to   multiply   the number of liters by the number of milliliters in 1 liter. This means there are   4,200   milliliters in 4.2 liters. The cafeteria has the greatest amount of     orange   juice, the second greatest amount of         grape     juice, and the least amount of    cranberry     juice.

Explanation:

1) Data:

• Grape juice: 8,000 mililiters

• Cranberry juice: 4.2 liter

• Orange juice: 12,000 mililiters

• There are 1,000 mililiers in 1 liter

2) Part A:

Table:

The table is garbled. This is what the tables could look like:

Liters    Mililiters

  1            1,000

  5           5,000

  8           8,000

 14          14,000

You can see that the table shows a direct relationship between the number of mililiters and the number of liters:

• 1,000/1 = 1,000
• 5,000/5 = 1,000
• 8,000/8 = 1,000

• 14,000/14 = 1,000

• number of mililiters / liters = 1,000

3) Part B)

Fill in the blanks to explain how Landon can convert 4.2 liters of cranberry juice to mililiters so he can compare the amounts of the different juices:

i) One way to convert 4.2 liters to milliliters is to   multiply   the number of

liters by the number of milliliters in 1 liter.

• As demonstrated above there is a direct relationship between the number of mililiters and the number on liters, then you must multiply the number of liters by the proportionality constant to find the number of mililiters.

ii) This means there are   4,200   milliliters in 4.2 liters.

• That is the product 4.2 × 1,000 = 4,200.

iii) The cafeteria has the greatest amount of     orange   juice, the second greatest amount of         grape     juice, and the least amount of    cranberry     juice.

Rank the amounts:

• 12,000    >    8,000    >    4,200

            ↑                   ↑                   ↑

       orange            grape        cranberry
