3. Coach Brady brought 202 L of
sports drink to the big game.
How many players can this
amount of sports drink sustain
if each player drinks 527
milliliters each?
18
18 players can drink 202 litres of sport drinks if each of them drinks 527mL.
The number of players that will drink 202 Litres of a sport drink can be calculated by dividing the amount of drinks bought by the amount each player can drink.
However, the units of measurement must be equal. We convert litres to milliliters as follows:
1000 mL = 1 L
202 L = 202 × 1000
= 202,000 millilitres.
Therefore, the number of players that can drink this volume of drink can be calculated as follows:
= 202,000 ÷ 527
= 383.2
Approximately, 383 players can drink 202 litres of sport drinks if each of them drinks 527mL.
