Sam counted 12 liters of hand sanitizer in the storage cabinet I lefills tihe dispensers in seven of the examination rooms as follows: 350 ml, 600
ml, 475 ml, 580 ml, 650 ml, 720 ml, and 500ml
After filing the dispensers how many liters of sanitizer remain in the storage cabinet?

8.125 Litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial volume of hand sanitizer in the storage = 12 litres

Volume of dispensers:

350 ml

600 ml

475 ml

580 ml

650 ml

720 ml and

500 ml

To find:

Volume of sanitizer left after filling all the dispensers = ?

Solution:

The volume of sanitizer left can be calculated by subtracting sum of volumes of all the dispensers from the Initial total volume of the storage cabinet.

First of all, let us convert them into the same units i.e. litres.

We know that 1 Litre = 1000 ml

So,

350 ml = 0.350 Litres

600 ml = 0.600 Litres

475 ml = 0.475 Litres

580 ml = 0.580 Litres

650 ml = 0.650 Litres

720 ml = 0.720 Litres

500 ml = 0.500 Litres

Total volume of dispensers = 0.350 + 0.600 + 0.475 + 0.580 + 0.650 + 0.720 + 0.500 = 3.875 Litres

Let us subtract the total volume of dispensers from the initial volume of storage cabinet to find the volume remaining the storage cabinet.

Volume that remain in the storage cabinet = 12 - 3.875 = 8.125 Litres
