Question

The label on a can of lemonade gives the volume as 12 fl oz or 355ml . Verify that these two measurements are nearly equivalent

Answer 1

We have been given that the label on a can of lemonade gives the volume as 12 fl oz or 355 ml and we are asked to verify that these two measurements are nearly equivalent.

Since we know that 1 fluid ounce equals 29.5735 ml. Let us find volume of lemonade can in ml by multiplying 12 by 29.5735.

$\text{Volume of can}=12\cdot29.5735$

$\text{Volume of can}=354.882$

$\text{Volume of can}=354.882\approx355$

We can see that 354.882 is nearly equivalent to 355. Therefore, we can say that these two measurements are nearly equivalent.
