Someone please help! My homework is due tomorrow! William bought a 0.5-liter bottle of liquid plant food. He uses 40 milliliters a week. What measurements are given? Are the same units used for each measurement? Explain. Also, explain how you can convert one of the measurements so that both use the same unit. How much plant food does William need for 12 weeks, explain. Is one bottle enough for 12 weeks. Give a clear answer.β
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:0.5 Liters
40 Milliliters
No, because milliliters and liters are different units of measurement.480mlYes, because the liquid plant food that William bought has a total of 500ml
Step-by-step explanation:The measurements that are given are:0.5 Liters
40 Milliliters
No, because milliliters and liters are different units of measurement.
We can convert the liters to millilliters by using the formula
mL = L/0.0010000
mL = 0.5/0.001000
mL = 500ml
To find how much plant food William needs for 12 weeks, we simply multiply the amount of plant food per week by 12.
12 x 40ml = 480ml
Yes, because the liquid plant food that William bought has a total of 500ml
500ml - 480ml = 20ml
William will still have an excess of 20ml.
