Question

There are 4064 calories in 8 litres of mango ice cream. How many calories are there in each litre of mango ice cream?

Answer 1

Hint: For solving this question you should know about the general mathematical divides. In this problem we will only use the general division for calculating the total calories in each litre of mango ice cream. And we can also say it per unit calories in ice cream.

Complete step-by-step solution:
According to our question it is asked that there are 4064 calories in 8 litres of mango ice cream and to calculate how many calories are there in each litre of mango ice cream. As we know that for finding anything or any amount in unit amount of time and volume and area or any other parameter, we always take the ratio of the total amount of that which is always given to us with the total number of or total amount of that parameter. We can write it as:
Unit amount = $\dfrac{\text{total amount}}{\text{total number of that amount (in which it is present)}}$
So, if we see our question, then we can see that,
Total number of available calories = 4064
And 4064 calories are available in 8 litres of mango ice cream.
So, the volume of total ice cream for 4064 calories = 8 litres.
So, the calories in 1 litre = $\dfrac{\text{total number of calories}}{\text{total volume of ice cream}}$
So, calories in 1 litre = $\dfrac{4064}{8}=508$.
So, the answer is 508.

Note: While solving these types of questions you have to keep in mind you should be careful of the count or the unit of any parameter. And always use the total amount for that specific amount. We cannot use another amount for the same total value. Both will be of the same configuration.
