How many 1.35 fl. oz. drinks can be poured from a 1 liter bottle of vodka?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking how many 1.35 fl. oz. drinks can be obtained from a liter of vodka, given that the price of vodka per liter is specified. We will convert the volume of the vodka from liters to fluid ounces to calculate the number of drinks.
Answer
25
Answer for screen readers
The total number of drinks is 25.
Steps to Solve
- Convert liters to fluid ounces
First, we need to convert the volume of vodka from liters to fluid ounces. We know that 1 liter is approximately 33.814 fluid ounces.
So, using the conversion: $$ \text{Volume in fluid ounces} = 1 , \text{liter} \times 33.814 , \text{fl. oz./liter} = 33.814 , \text{fl. oz.} $$
- Calculate the number of drinks
Next, we want to find out how many 1.35 fl. oz. drinks can be made from the total volume of vodka we just calculated.
To do this, we divide the total fluid ounces by the size of each drink: $$ \text{Number of drinks} = \frac{33.814 , \text{fl. oz.}}{1.35 , \text{fl. oz./drink}} $$
- Perform the division
Now we perform the division to find the total number of drinks: $$ \text{Number of drinks} \approx 25.07 $$
Since we cannot have a fraction of a drink, we round down to the nearest whole number: $$ \text{Total drinks} = 25 $$
The total number of drinks is 25.
More Information
You can make a total of 25 drinks, each being 1.35 fl. oz., from a liter of vodka, which highlights the importance of knowing conversion factors when dealing with volumes in different units.
Tips
- Not converting the units correctly, which can lead to incorrect calculations.
- Forgetting to round down when calculating the number of drinks, assuming we can have partial drinks.
