A:
Answers:a. [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] liters/glassb. 0.4 liters/glassc. 400 ml/glassExplanation:Part a:We are given that two bottles each holding 2 liters of sodaThis means that the total amount of soda = 2 * 2 = 4 litersTo get the amount of soda in each glass, we will simply divide the amount of soda by the number of glasses (given the number of glasses is 10)Therefore:Amount of soda in each glass = [tex]\frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}[/tex] liters/glassPart b:We are now asked to express the amount in fraction. The simplest way to do this is to make the denominator a multiple of 10. The number of zeroes in the denominator will be equal to the number of digits after the decimal pointTherefore:[tex]\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{10}=0.4[/tex] liters/glassPart c:Now, we know that 1 liter is equivalent to 1000 mlTherefore:0.4 liters = 0.4 Γ— 1000 = 400 ml/glassHope this helps :)
