Question

Suppose the volume of milk in a glass is 230 cubic cm. If 1 gallon of milk equals 3.79 liters, there are how many glasses of milk in 1 gallon?

Answer 1

Volume of milk that a glass can hold = 230 cubic cm
It is already given that
1 gallon of milk = 3.79 liters
W already know
1 liter = 1000 cubic cm
Then
3.79 liters = 1000 * 3.79 cubic cm
                = 3790 cubic cm
Now
Number of glasses needed to contain 230 cm^3 of milk = 1
So
Number of glasses needed to contain 3790 cm^3 of milk = 3790/230
                                                                                           = 16.48
From the above deduction, we can conclude that 17 glasses of milk are required to hold 1 gallon of milk.
