Question:
A drink dispenser in a fast-food restaurant holds 250 litres of lemonade. How many 0.6-litre drinks can be dispensed before a refill is needed?
Answer:
The number 0.6-litre drinks can be dispensed before a refill is needed is 416
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The capacity of the drink dispenser = 250 litres
To Find:
Number of 0.6-litre drinks can be dispensed before a refill is needed = ?
Solution
Let the number of 0.6-litre drinks can be dispensed before a refill is needed be x
Then
[tex]x = \frac{ \text{total capacity of the dispenser}}{\text{0.6-litre drinks}}[/tex]
On substituting the values we get
[tex]x = \frac{250}{0.6}[/tex]
x = 416. 667
Thus only 416 can be filled
