Provide answers for "An Evening with John Green" AP summer assignment.

Answer :

The correct answer is d. 8 oz. can of juice is most convenient to meet this requirement.

To solve this problem, we need to determine how much juice the resident is supposed to have every 2 hours and then find the closest match among the given options.

First, we convert the volume of juice from milliliters to ounces because the answer choices are provided in ounces. We know that 1 milliliter is approximately equal to 0.0338 ounces. Therefore, to convert 240 milliliters to ounces, we multiply:

[tex]\[ 240 \text{ milliliters} \times 0.0338 \frac{\text{ounces}}{\text{milliliter}} = 8.112 \text{ ounces} \][/tex]

Now that we have the volume in ounces, we can compare it with the given options:

a. 5 oz. can of juice: This contains less juice than the required 8.112 ounces, so it is not sufficient.

b. 4 oz. can of juice: This also contains less juice than the required 8.112 ounces, so it is not sufficient.

c. 12 oz. can of juice: This contains more juice than the required 8.112 ounces. While it would meet the requirement, it provides more juice than necessary, which might not be the most convenient option if the resident is supposed to consume exactly the recommended amount every 2 hours.

d. 8 oz. can of juice: This is the closest to the required 8.112 ounces without going under. It is the most convenient option because it provides almost exactly the amount of juice needed every 2 hours.

Therefore, the best choice to meet the requirement of having 240 milliliters of juice every 2 hours is an 8 oz. can of juice.
