A bottle of wine known as a magnum contains a volume of 1.5 liters. A bottle known as a jeroboam contains 0.792 U.S. gallons. How many magnums are there in 7 jeroboams?

Answer :

For this case we must know the following conversion of units:
[tex]1 liter = 0.26 gallon (usd)
[/tex]
We calculate first the total number of gallons for 7 jeroboams:
[tex](7) * (0.792) = 5.544 gallons.
[/tex]
Then, a 1.5-liter bottle is converted to gallons:
[tex](1.5) * (0.26) = 0.39 gallons
[/tex]
Finally, the number of magnums in 7 jeroboams is given by:
[tex]n = (5.544) / (0.39)

n = 14.21[/tex]
Rounding to the nearest whole number:
[tex]n = 14
[/tex]
Answer:
there are 14 magnums in 7 jeroboams
