Simmi's mother made 8 ltr 785 ml of soup for the party. If the soup was distributed equally among 35 people, how much soup was given to each person?
251 ml
255 ml
250 ml
254 ml
251 ml
Convert the total volume into milliliters (8785 ml) and perform standard long division by 35. Since 35 ├Ч 200 = 7000 and 35 ├Ч 50 = 1750 (total 8750), the quotient must be slightly above 250.
Total volume of soup = 8 ltr 785 ml, Total number of people = 35

Convert the total volume into milliliters (8785 ml) and perform standard long division by 35. Since 35 ├Ч 200 = 7000 and 35 ├Ч 50 = 1750 (total 8750), the quotient must be slightly above 250.
Confusing units by failing to convert 8 ltr to 8000 ml before adding the 785 ml, or miscalculating the decimal placement in the division.
Convert Units
Convert the total volume from liters and milliliters to milliliters only: 8┬аltr=8000┬аml, so total volume = 8000+785=8785┬аml.
8785┬аml
Apply Division
Divide the total volume by the number of people to find the share per person: VpersonтАЛ=358785тАЛ.
358785тАЛ=251
Final Verification
Checking the result: 251├Ч35=8785. The calculation is correct.
251┬аml
A is correct because 8785 ml divided by 35 people results in exactly 251 ml per person.
This type of unit conversion and division is common in capacity problems involving mixtures, similar to liquid volume problems in physics and daily life mathematics.
