Apollo Spas services 173 hot tubs. If each hot tub needs 125 mL of muriatic acid, how many liters of acid are needed for all of the hot tubs?
Answer:
21.625 L
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
No. of Hot tubs (N) = 173
Amount of muriatic acid required for one tub (a) = 125 mL
To Find: Total amount of acids required for all the hot tubs
It is a simple multiplication problem.
Lets assume, total amount of acids required (in mL) = x
Thus,
\(x = N\times a\)
\(x = 173\times 125\)
\(x = 21625\)
Total amount of acids required for all the hot tubs (in mL)= 21625 mL
Total amount of acids required for all the hot tubs (in liters) = \(\frac{x}{1000}\)
Total amount of acids required for all the hot tubs = 21.625 L
