Problema Solution
You work in the kitchen at a summer camp and must make a batch of sports drink for the campers on a hot day. You mix the drink in a container with sides measuring 1 foot by 1.5 feet by 3 feet. After filling the container with water, you must add two scoops of drink mix for each gallon of water. How many scoops of drink mix are needed to make a full batch, rounded to the nearest scoop?
Answer provided by our tutors
V = 1*1.5*3
V = 4.5 ft^3
1 ft^3 = 7.48052 gal
4.5 ft^3 = 4.5*7.48052 gal
V = 33.66 gal
You must add 2 scoops of drink mix for each gallon of water or:
2*33.66 = 67.32 scoops or 67 scoops to the nearest scoop.
