Question

Question 1
Roger is planning a party. He needs these ingredients in the following quantities to
make punch:
• 2 quarts orange juice
• 3 cups cranberry juice
• 1 gallon ginger ale
• 1 pint pineapple juice
Roger knows he will need a relatively large container to mix the punch.
Unfortunately, all he can find is a bowl that holds 8 liters of liquid. He is not sure
whether he can fit all of the ingredients in the bowl at the same time.
Use the following measurement equivalents to determine if Roger can use the 8-
liter bowl to mix all the ingredients for the punch. Show your work.
If he can use the bowl, he needs to determine how many liters of liquid could still
fit into the bowl. If he cannot use the bowl, he needs to determine how many extra
liters of liquid there are. Round your answers to the nearest tenth of a liter.
1 liter is about 4.23 cups, 2.11 pints, 1.06 quarts, and 0.26 gallons
Question 2
Roger also wants to make sandwiches for his guests. He buys the following
sandwich fillings:
• 1.5 kilograms of turkey
• 1.25 kilograms of beef
• 2.25 pounds of cheese
Roger wants to know if he purchased more turkey or more cheese. Use the
conversion ratio 1 kilogram = about 2.2 pounds to determine the correct answer.
Show your work.
Roger discovers that he needs to buy some chicken as well. He buys an amount of
chicken that weighs more than the beef he bought and less than the turkey he
bought. Give an amount in pounds that the chicken could weigh, rounded to the
nearest hundredth of a pound.
Roger is curious to know the total weight of all four sandwich fillings he bought. He
weighs it twice, once using ounces and once using grams. If 16 ounces = 1 pound
and 1,000 grams = 1 kilogram, will the total weight of the sandwich fillings be a
greater number of ounces or a greater number of kilograms? Explain your answer

Answer 1

You are visiting one of the following states: Tennessee, Vermont, Wisconsin, or
Wyoming. Each has a state sales tax on most items that are for sale in stores.
While you are visiting, you decide to buy a board game to play with your hosts. The

Use the internet to find the state’s general sales tax. Note that some counties, towns,
or cities may add more to the general sales tax, but you only need the general sales
tax. Write the tax rate here: ________
