Question

a tube of toothpaste hold 75 mL how many tubes can be sold using 1.5 L of toothpaste

Answer 1

We will find out how many toothpaste tubes can be filled with 1.5L as follows:

*First: We transform the 1.5Liters to mL:

$x=\frac{1.5\cdot1000}{1}\Rightarrow x=1500$

So, 1500mL.

*Second: We will determine how many tubes of toothpaste we can fill:

$tt=\frac{1\cdot1500}{75}\Rightarrow tt=20$

So, we can fill 20 tubes of toothpaste.
