Sophia has a 6 litre jug of lemonade

Question

She pours out 3 pints from the jug.
Approximately how many pints of lemonade are left in the jug? ( 1 litre = 2 pints )

Answer 1

To determine how many pints of lemonade are left in the jug, we first need to convert the total volume of lemonade from litres to pints.

1 litre = 2 pints

So, 6 litres of lemonade is equivalent to:
\[ 6 \text{ litres} \times 2 \text{ pints per litre} = 12 \text{ pints} \]

Sophia pours out 3 pints from the jug.

To find out how many pints are left, we subtract the amount poured out from the total amount:
\[ 12 \text{ pints} - 3 \text{ pints} = 9 \text{ pints} \]

Therefore, approximately 9 pints of lemonade are left in the jug.
