James adds vitamin drops to his fish tank to keep his fish healthy.
If James follows the instructions on the bottle of vitamins, how many capfuls should he add to this
350-liters fish tank?
show you work
- 2 drops per 5 liters
of water
- 1 capful = 40 drops
Pls Help!!!
Since the fish holds 350 liters of water, it follows that,
350/5=70 liters X 2 drops for every 5 liters=140 drops needed for the whole tank.
Since 1 cupful contains 40 drops, the we have this:
140 drops needed for the full tank/40 drops contained in one cup, or,
140/40=3 1/2=3.5 number of cupfuls needed for the full tank.
