She wants to make sure she has enough to drink for all her friends, so she decides to buy 10 liters of beverages. If she buys at least one container of each beverage, what combination of beverages can she buy to equal exactly 10 liters?
Question
Answer:
1000 millilitres = 1 litre soda= 2 litres
apple juice = 2.5 litres
fruit punch = 1.5 litres
lemonade = 2 litres
2+2.5+1.5+2= 8 litres
10 - 8 = 2 litres
so, the combinations could be:
2 soda, 1 apple juice, 1 fruit punch and 1 lemonade
or
