Sameer usually drinks 3 cups of coffee in the morning. How many liters of coffee does he drink? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

[tex]\[ \frac{3 \text{ cups}}{1} \times \frac{0.237 \text{ liters}}{1 \text{ cup}} = \text{?} \][/tex]

Sameer drinks [tex]$\square$[/tex] liters of coffee in the morning.



Answer :

To determine how many liters of coffee Sameer drinks in the morning, we need to convert the amount he drinks from cups to liters. Here is the step-by-step process:

1. Identify the conversion factor:
From the provided conversion table, we know that [tex]\( 1 \, \text{cup} = 0.237 \, \text{liters} \)[/tex].

2. Determine the total amount of coffee in cups:
Sameer drinks [tex]\( 3 \)[/tex] cups of coffee in the morning.

3. Set up the conversion:
We use the conversion factor to convert cups into liters. The formula for converting the coffee volume from cups to liters is:
[tex]\[ \text{Total coffee in liters} = \text{Number of cups} \times \text{Conversion factor} \][/tex]

4. Calculate the amount in liters:
[tex]\[ \text{Total coffee in liters} = 3 \, \text{cups} \times 0.237 \, \text{liters per cup} \][/tex]
Multiplying these values gives:
[tex]\[ 3 \times 0.237 = 0.711 \, \text{liters} \][/tex]

5. Round the result to the nearest tenth:
Looking at the value [tex]\( 0.711 \, \text{liters} \)[/tex], we round to the nearest tenth:
[tex]\[ 0.711 \approx 0.7 \, \text{liters} \][/tex]

Therefore, Sameer drinks approximately [tex]\( 0.7 \)[/tex] liters of coffee in the morning.

[tex]\[ \boxed{0.7} \][/tex]

So, Sameer drinks [tex]\( \boxed{0.7} \)[/tex] liters of coffee in the morning.
