Certainly! To determine how many liters 29 bowls will hold if each bowl contains 168 milliliters of soup, we can break the problem down into smaller steps. Here’s a detailed, step-by-step solution:
1. Understanding the problem:
- Each bowl holds 168 milliliters of soup.
- We need to determine the total volume of soup for 29 bowls, but we need the answer in liters.
2. Convert the volume of soup in each bowl from milliliters to liters:
- Knowing that 1 liter = 1000 milliliters, we can convert the volume of one bowl of soup:
[tex]\[
\frac{168 \text{ milliliters}}{1000 \text{ milliliters per liter}} = 0.168 \text{ liters}
\][/tex]
- Therefore, each bowl holds 0.168 liters of soup.
3. Calculate the total volume of soup for 29 bowls:
- We have 29 bowls, and each bowl contains 0.168 liters. So we need to multiply the number of bowls by the volume per bowl:
[tex]\[
29 \text{ bowls} \times 0.168 \text{ liters per bowl} = 4.872 \text{ liters}
\][/tex]
- Therefore, 29 bowls contain 4.872 liters of soup.
4. Choose the correct answer from the given options:
- Review the options provided:
[tex]\(\bullet\)[/tex] 4.872 liters
[tex]\(\bullet\)[/tex] 48.72 liters
[tex]\(\bullet\)[/tex] 487.2 liters
[tex]\(\bullet\)[/tex] 4,872 liters
- The correct answer is 4.872 liters.
So, 29 bowls will hold [tex]\(\boxed{4.872 \text{ liters}}\)[/tex] of soup.
