Question

tiana is making lemonade. she needs 2 l of water, but can only find a 250 ml measuring cup in her kitchen. how many times must she fill the measuring cup to get 2 l of water? she must fill the measuring cup times in all.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert liters to milliliters

We know that \(1\space L = 1000\space mL\), so \(2\space L = 2\times1000 = 2000\space mL\).

Step2: Calculate the number of times to fill the cup

To find out how many times we need to fill the \(250\space mL\) cup to get \(2000\space mL\), we divide the total volume needed by the volume of the cup. So the number of times \(n=\frac{2000}{250}\).
Simplifying \(\frac{2000}{250}=8\).

Answer:

8
