A container holds 5 liters 600 ml of juice. If the juice is poured equally into 24 glasses, how much juice does each glass contain?
210 ml
225 ml
235 ml
250 ml
235 ml
Convert liters to ml first by multiplying by 1000 (5├Ч1000=5000) and add ml (5000+600=5600). Divide 5600 by 24 by simplifying: 5600/8=700 and 24/8=3, giving 700/3тЙИ233.33. (Note: Given options suggest rounding or potential error in question data).
Total volume of juice = 5 liters 600 ml, Number of glasses = 24.

Convert liters to ml first by multiplying by 1000 (5├Ч1000=5000) and add ml (5000+600=5600). Divide 5600 by 24 by simplifying: 5600/8=700 and 24/8=3, giving 700/3тЙИ233.33. (Note: Given options suggest rounding or potential error in question data).
Many students forget to convert the entire volume into a single unit (ml) before dividing, leading to arithmetic errors.
Convert total volume to ml
Since 1 liter = 1000 ml, convert 5 liters to 5000 ml. Add the remaining 600 ml to get the total volume.
VtotalтАЛ=(5├Ч1000)+600=5600┬аml
Divide by number of glasses
Divide the total volume of 5600 ml by the 24 glasses to find the amount per glass.
VglassтАЛ=245600тАЛ
Simplify and Calculate
Reducing the fraction 245600тАЛ by dividing both numerator and denominator by 8 gives 3700тАЛ.
3700тАЛ=233.33┬аml
C is correct because while the calculation yields 233.33 ml, 235 ml is the closest designated option provided in the official answer key.
Always ensure units are consistent before performing arithmetic operations, a concept frequently tested in speed-distance and time-work problems.
