Question

Find the quantity of water needed to be mixed with 3800 mL of lime juice to make 6 litres of lemonade.

• A. 2200 mL
• B. 120 mL
• C. 2000 mL
• D. 1200 mL

Answer 1

The correct option is A

2200 mL

$1\text{L}=1000\text{mL}$
$\Rightarrow 6\text{L}=6\times 1000\text{mL}=6000\text{mL}$

Thus, the total quantity of lemonade to be prepared is 6000 mL. The quantity of lime juice that we have is 3800 mL.

$\Rightarrow$ Quantity of water required to make the lemonade is given by
6000 mL - 3800 mL = 2200 mL.
